DOWNPOUR
2023

performance

The performance is evocative of the experience of watching movies during blackouts. In his act, the artist retells an experimental 1929 "Downpour" movie by Ivan Kavaleridze, where the light plays a key narrative role along with the main characters. Documentation of this performance was forbidden. During the exhibition only empty site, where performance occurred once, was exhibiting, thus implementing the main logic of this piece - further existence through oral transmission from witnesses of the original event.
