MY MOTHER’S HAND

A multimedia approach, the employment of various materials and comic-strip art are common to three young authoresses who will exhibit their works in two galleries at AKC Metelkova mesto. The joint exhibition venue will be dedicated to visual images presented on various backgrounds (wood, cardboard, plastic, fabric, gum, etc.).

The exhibition will be opened with a theatrical performance entitled My Mother’s Hand performed by Juhyun & Sunyoung Choi, accompanied by the violinist Jelena Ždrale. In the spirit of traditional Chinese shadow theatre they shall recreate the dream world of shadows of both objects and the dancer transmogrified through the glass of an overhead projector. At a certain moment instead of a puppet, a real human hand emerges which is not proportional to the dancer’s shadow. ‘’The performance was inspired by a dream I had about finding my mother’s hand on the floor. The story deals with the entire range of emotions: from surprise, sadness, compassion and parental love, to fear and guilt.’’  Igor Prassel
