Prague, Czech Republic, 2018
performance: 14-16/11/18
"Zajíček v své jamce sedí sám, sedí sám. Ubožáčku, co je ti, že nemůžeš skákati? Chutě skoč, chutě skoč, a vyskoč!"
Performance "How to Explain the World to a Dead Hare" was created as part of the 2018 Prague Rooms exhibition (Exhibition of Czech Art Universities). Instead of presenting our work, cabinet of Performance decided to fill the time-space with the presence of performers themselves. Every concrete action transforms the space. Efforts to communicate with the living and the not-living. The inspiration for us is Joseph Beuys' work.
My performance was an interpretation of his performance "How to Explain the Image to a Dead Hare".Thirty-hour meditation during three days took place together with the audience. Nonverbally, just in the meditative state of mind i tried to communicate with audience (1 or 2 person) and explain questions which Beuys put in his work: Who is a Dead Hare? Why is a Hare dead? How to reanimate him?
