PEEP SHOW
Performance Series
Since 2017
The idea of this performance is based on the principle of deconstructing the body in the viewer's perception: when looking at the body of the performer, spectator's mind tries to compare the body with his/her/their own, subconsciously comparing them. But the body of the performer is confusing with its shape with four identical limbs and the absence of a head. Due to this effect, a failure occurs in the perception of the viewer, and even, technically, the simplest methods of performance cause emotional reactions on his part.
Depending on the context in which the performance takes place, the very image and behavior of the strange creature changes, but the basic principle remains the same.
Be it in a booth for a peep show at the contemporary art fair, an abandoned quarry in the village, art galleries, a museum or the General Staff Building of the Hermitage.
