A Common Place

Show Gallery

A common place is a playbook interactive performance by artists Polina Kardymon and Elina Kulikova. It is a personal show for one viewer, recreating the personal psychogeography of the artists. All events, characters and scenery of the performance are placed in a paper DIY-book. Its pages contain tactile and perceptible paths that the viewer can walk at any convenient time and place. Each playbook like this is unique: you cannot fully know which copy you will receive. Perhaps it will turn out to be an autofixed landscape of Polina's childhood, or a digital landscape of Elina's desktop. The route of the performance may be unexpected, but is unpredictability the most valuable thing in any journey?
