Hello Everyone!
We have this new, very young art teacher and she started with the always untouched topic and kind of art school always leaves out, no matter how interesting.
Performance art
maybe because it's strange with with intentions and outcomes of the product because it is never that obvious and rather random, disgusting or weird to the un- taught viewer.
But once you learn about it, get the thought and interpret it in your own way it's beautiful, intelligent and magical.
we were left with the task to make our own performance with very little material. Before that though we had another task, to get the feeling of raising awareness in the first place and viewing people in their daily life.
So first step, we sat in a café and looked around. There was a woman who looked at her phone typing a message 30 minutes straight, not recognizing the world around her. She randomly stood there, not looking up once. Another woman ate her lunch in a damn hurry as if her life depended on it. Two men had their midday coffee and a lovely conversation, once in a while they met someone they knew who indulged for a couple of minutes. They seemed very happy.
Once woman came in the café transporting her coffee in the right hand and her spoon in her mouth. I thought to myself why not just have the spoon in the left hand if not in the coffee? Moments later I discovered that she did not have a left arm anymore.
It's moments like that, people either enjoying their life or being inside their head (which is more often the fact, sad but true) We don't even see what is happening around us, we are ignorant and only look after ourselves.
Second task was having a picnic in the middle of the weekly market place. That was fun. And we felt pretty funny. True fact we got some random looks but more than one person didn't see us as well.
The Video
Opening the eyes of our humanity because there is no green anymore and some people try to save our earth but water stones because they don't know where to start, don't have any other chance because we already turned every green in to sad, tryst grey.
Tell me your thought, what went through your head?
If you want to know our message, contact me and I'll tell. In the meantime I will leave you with your own thoughts and interpretation and hope you liked the video and photos!
