Synopsis

Series of events which in their own way put into question the idea of beauty. Basically, it’s about meals, for example, suppers, made of human tissue which appears as a leftover in the industry of aesthetic surgery. The installation itself involves exhibiting of photo and video documentation that explains the origin and the process of preparation of the food offered to spectators, and a pudding made of human lard.

 

Notice: At the end of the footage, there's a short clip showing Elena Kovylina still resting in a plastic wrap canister after her Mach es jetzt performance.

Break21, the 6th international festival of emerging artists, was entitled Dead or Alive. The apocalyptic tone of the syntagm Dead or Alive involves the staging as well as practical thinking on the paradigms of the living, semi-living, semi-dead and dead. Their contemporary transformations have evolved from trends and changes in science and technology, reaching out also to religious and ideological concepts and psychological states.
