Changed Conditions
#14 In his video performance Distortions, Boris Petrovski is visually presenting the process of mutual effect through which the city and its citizens are going every day. In fact, it is a video documentation from the performance that artist did walking with a piece of tinplate in his hands on the “Macedonia” square.
#17 Petrovski uses tinplate as reflecting space that becomes temporary witness of interaction between incidental passersby’s figures and surrounding buildings. Modified faces and bodies are reflected on the smooth and distorting surface simultaneously with altered fragments of the city space and its objects. Thus, the tinplate surface becomes a metaphor of performing process within the reciprocal urban transformation.
