CONSEQUENCES p2, p3, p4
Next three installations were part of international Spider festival of Radical bodies that hold place in the biggest Slovenian park.
The creation of installation – a performance – was long duration, it took around 8 hours every day. The placement had an important role for the audience; the majority of them were ones doing their daily of weekly recreation. The rest – who came on intention were presented an ending of creation and the beginning of installation. When the installation was announced, me - the performer and the creator of installation left. Transforming performance into an installation.
Using same pattern, the installation was upgrading for 3 days.
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).
