Maiden – Divorced – Spinster

In collaboration with WOMEN'S FUND IN GEORGIA

National Library, Tbilisi, Georgia, March 2007

Performance, dealing with gender issues in Georgian society.

The understanding of a human body is very limited. After being so long under the totalitarian regime and now during the nationalistic period there is a very strong one way thinking in Georgia. There is a lack of various possibilities to perceive and analyze things. We have created an abstract ‘human mentality’ which is producing diverse fragmented bodies, deconstructing the totalitarian understanding of human body as a simply functioning mechanism. On the other hand this ‘human mentality’ is producing heavy, flat stereotypes of women, throwing them out of a whole on the floor, in form of a wood pieces, covered with slogans written on the textile.
