Friday October 21, 1:30 pm > 4:30 pm
The performance “Self-brainwashing#2” is part of the “There you are” project. It is related to the idea of concealing and obliterating the world existing around us, including the figure of the artist, and its transformation into something else, provoking the search for words with which to name it. Cortile Squellini, an intimate courtyard with terracotta tiles and its beautiful stone staircase, at Ca' Foscari University, will be sculpted with foam. Foam will cover not only the environment but also the figure of the artist Michail Michailov and the participating students. The soundscape of the performance will be especially created by the Austrian artist Harald Stojan. The performers and the public will merge with the white mass of foam, losing their individuality and becoming a living sculpture.
The performance lasts 30-40 mins and will be held twice with different participants.
