EWA SWIDIŃSKA
Białystok, Poland
Untitled

by Viktor Petrov
An extremely elegant performance. It began even before the start of the actual event, as it was being prepared in a quiet, scarcely noticeable corner of a room on the first floor. The performer places new white T-shirts in a large pile on the floor by a wall, then falls to her knees on them, her face turned resolutely towards the wall. After stripping to the waist, she slowly pulls out and puts on T-shirts one after another, then rips them off again once she is wearing them. The total silence in the hall is violated by the sound of ripping cloth. The performance lasts twenty minutes, the audience captivated by the silence in the overcrowded hall and the solitary, slim, half-naked figure kneeling on white material.
