"Performance is a contact with public...
... it is a self-immersive presence..."

Kilograms of the memory
"Kilograms of the memory" is a series of performances based on stories from my memories. The place is very inspiring, its context and light, the objects that are here. For several days, I worked on a papier-mache object in the workshop of "Espace o 25rjj" during the residency: it was a pillow that becomes a sign of memory that turns into a dream. This pillow is solid, it has an unalterable final shape that can only change with the presence of reality. "When I was little, I had a cushion with birds of which I dreamed of the horrors." Now I lie on a rusty bed and watch the birds flying in the endless sky.

“The idea of the project appeared in Poznań during the Gaude Polonia scholarship program in 2013. Although the Revolution of Dignity began after the artist returned to Ukraine, the pressure and tension at that time seemed to be "present in the air". So the performance came out as an attempt to express a vague and incomprehensible sense of discomfort, and also as a result of studying the space - the rounded architecture of the Rotunda Gallery in Poznan. This project marks the transition link from space as an environment external to a person, to the environment into which a person is immersed” (D. Skrynnyk-Myska).
