BLIS(S)KOŚĆ

“I don’t hide
anything, I put
myself in front of myself (…)”

The artist’s performance is an intimate encounter with Mokos,the Old Slavonic goddess of earth, life and creation, who cares about both birth and death. The central element of the design is the Earth in which the artist performs a ritual – greeting her using light, candles, incense and sound, she allows herself to fully immerse and connect with the goddess. In movements full of tenderness and respect, he exposes both the body and emotions, exposing himself in the safe space of the “mother’s womb”.

Clothing objects that are hung in space are interactive-you can view them, touch them, and even put them on. Each of them contains photos and embroideries that are a personal record of the artist’s first intuitive contact with Mokos. Nudity, the blackness of the earth, the texture of fabrics and the unusual arrangement of the photo-on a jacket, tablecloth or sheet-create a narrative of openness, courage, tenderness, emotions and the process of rebirth.

Fabrics and clothing come from the second edition, they carry their own history and energy. In preparation for the performance, the artist places them in the ground, allowing them to feel its power. Over time, with each subsequent appearance, objects acquire new layers of meaning, becoming witnesses of ritual, transformation and deep personal experience.
