Podrobný výpis o publikaci

I was inspired by Felicitas D. Goodman´s and Nana Nauwald´s research, in which the authors claim that the body positions of the prehistoric statues are not a form of art, but rather a kind of instruction on how to enter an expanded state of consciousness, a trance, through the depicted body positions. I decided to explore this assumption in the form of two weeks of artistic research, in which I worked with the chosen environment and clothing in addition to the postures themselves. I created contrasting situations: the positions from the prehistoric plastics were performed in the alienated environment of everyday life, dressed in ball gowns. The juxtaposition was thus threefold: the mundane versus the sacred, archaic history versus today, the luxurious versus the precarized aspects of the everyday.
