Body talk
Session
Art & Digital Media
Description
The topic analyzes with the interactive exhibition 'Body Talk', held at the Paper Gallery in Prishtina, in 2022. Through drawing, performance, use of light, interaction and sound effects, the artwork invites visitors to leave their mark during the exhibition. The goal was to spark interaction with the public during the performance, in particular with the daily activity that accelerates the effects of entropy. The experiment explores how far we can push the individual, and then examine for that effect on society in the wider context. By pre-designating the dots on the gallery walls, the stimulus was created for action-drawing by the visitors to connect the dots, to leave traces as a crowd after the impact, and finally to "build" something new "individually" within the group. This is reflected on the gallery walls by the visitors themselves. As part of the performance, the visitor converts into an artist.
