Performance for Children Video
Old refrigerators, dollhouse furniture, video 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.
