FREEDOOMRUN
2019
performance
Carbonarium Performance Art Festival, Kyiv, Ukraine
Body-tale about fear of the war and extermination, parasites, sick ideologies that poison human minds, nationalism, nuclear threat and courage in the pursuit of dreams.
Performance was inspired by the story of North Korean deserter and his spectacular escape across the border, in the most guarded zone (DMZ), while being shot several times and rescued afterwards in South Korean hospital. Information gave by media reporters about his belly full of parasitic worms inspired me to take it as central point for to the action, to see them - parasites - in a symbolic way as sick regime ideology of lies and manipulations infecting human minds.
