NATIVE SOIL

2022

Tbilisi, Georgia
Performance with Anna Gorina

Reflecting on the phenomenon of political and georgaphical borders between states, we decided to collect soil from different countries of the world and mix it, and then distribute jars of world earth to the audience. We asked different people to bring us soil from the country where they are now. Each box contains a native land for some people and a foreign land for others at the same time. During the performance we put the earth one by one from each container into a big bowl, then we mixed it and put it into small glass bubbles. We wanted what was happening to resemble a ritual.
