Any transformation goes through losses: accidental or intentional. The lens of sacrifice, through which I study the concept of transformation, allows us to experience the experience of transformation through intentional loss, which transforms the individual from a victim to a giver or agency.
The structure of any sacrifice includes the donor, the victim and the authority that receives it. It also presupposes acts of embodiment and reincarnation, turning the donor into a victim and vice versa, thereby modeling the complex relationship between subject and object in cognition and activity.
The “Trail” project is dedicated to the problems of internal personal transitions. Against the backdrop of world events that simultaneously change humanity as a whole and, at the same time, divert attention from the particular to the general, my project takes the form of a tabletop performance, where it invites the viewer to become an active participant in their internal transformations.
