(anti) aging in Riga. Resonance.

09/12/2011

Some time has passed, since Latvian audience could enjoy (anti) aging, created by Romanian artists Mihaela Dancs and Madalina Dan in Riga. What’s the resonance?

 

 

 

People were moved by the theme and the translation of it ( how we will be in 30 years ) and enjoyed the quality the movement. For me the feeling about (anti) aging came with the delay – just as I imagine myself being in few years – understanding situation a bit with a delay. From the beginning I enjoyed the picture, then – details, then became judgmental, critical and only then – revelation: it is not going to be like this in the next moment. That’s why for me the piece is very much about: appreciate today.

I am glad that project like E-Motional Bodies & Cities let us follow the creative activity of artists, chosen by us, a bit longer period of time. That creates an illusion about knowing the artist.  

If someone else still has feelings about (anti ) aging, please share them!

Thanks to Mihaela and Madalina,
