Fluidity

Dedicated to the anniversary of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station explosion

This performance was actually born first as a fabric sewn from a huge number of pieces of used things. Big water, as a symbol of inspiration, watering the body, the earth, and at the same time, as a destructive force that can destroy, wash away, erase. However, can everything really be destroyed? Because memory is comprehensive, it brings memories through time even without written or photographic fixation and is able to revive feelings. One and the same object can be a carrier of different things. The Kakhovka reservoir is the water that impressed me, it is the place of life of my husband's parents, who remain under occupation. It is the water that washed away the homes of a huge number of people, it is a story that gave rise to a great force of unity and help. And it is a story that continues: as the water has gone, a forest and a new ecosystem are formed in its place.
"Fluidity" is a performance that immerses you in the interaction of water, time and memory. A textile canvas that embodies water and comes to life becomes a symbol of destruction and renewal. This is my personal choreography of change: movement with what once was - and with what is being born. Memory that is reflected in every drop, in every step.

It was presented in POLE, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine
