CONSEQUENCES p5

 

It is the 5th and for now the last presentation of Consequences. It is presented in the shape 5 posters of  5 photos I took during the creating previous installations. They were presented on a rundown house in the old town of Kranj.  The (for now) conclusion of Consequences was lacking an performer - the performer was absent. Photos merged down with a wall and became part of it with the audience passing by day and night.

THE CONSEQUENCES (2021)

 

Consequences is a transdisciplinary project that creates a link between performance and visual arts through a contemplation of space and time, as well as presence and absence. What happens when the performer leaves? Does absence change a performance into an exhibition? I focused on the connectivity of my body with the textile medium, on a relationship between the living and the non-living. What may be said about their coexistence? 

When the dancer leaves, the textile objects that were created during the piece remain, their materiality doesn't change, but they do document the author's existence before her leaving. Time before a certain beginning. Some trails stay.

The project aims to achieve a transformation of performance art – along with its transience and uniqueness – and transfer it into the area of visual arts which allows for existence in time and space. But where do the limits of both areas of art appear? Do they appear at all?

 

Consequences had 5 appearances (for now).
