Хоровод (Khorovod)
tulle, cotton threads, metal stripes
290 x 45 cm
In his book Difference and Repetition (Différence et Répétition, 1968), Gilles Deleuze explains the notion of time in three levels: there is no time but the present, which contains past and future. These layers describe different ways in which past and future can be inscribed in a present. As this inscription grows more complicated, the status of the present itself becomes more abstract.
From Deleuze’s writing can be deduced that everything that has existed and all that comes into existence is intricately connected. That means that none of our individual experiences stand alone. Consciously and unconsciously, they are embroidered together in a collective and non-linear identity.Хоровод is a site-specific installation that questions our perception of time, and suggests a more abstract way of understanding and experiencing it.
The word Хоровод (from Ukrainian Khorovod or Horovod) referring to an ancient East Slavic art form. A combination of a circle dance and chorus singing. The circle dance symbolises moving around the sun, it was a pagan rite that associated with the celebration of summer—bathing cycle of dances.
