2015
In the course of performance, children are encouraged to enliven a small housing development built out of old refrigerators.
Modern new housing developments look alike all over the world. As a rule, they lose their face and geographic peculiarities, having totally surrendered to function.
It’s a different story when these overgrown doll houses start to be filled with living people who have their own notion of things beautiful and an opportunity to drag such things home, to their room, apartment, staircase or bathroom and to arrange around the fire place, same as the modern TV set, pieces of furniture, glasses/goblets, spoons/forks and other objects that would later be cherished by children of the “draggers” and handed down from generation to generation.
