Markita’s Dream

performance
Studio of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb
2004,

Artist take off the shirt and drench it in a blue pot, then put on a wet shirt and write Markita Franulić’s dream on the wall using the water and brush. Previously recorded video of the same performance but with a dry shirt is simultaneously projected on the wall. The performance ends while artist lean against the wall and listen to the audio recording of the dream, covered with own projected image. Like in other performances based on ‘doubling’  the projection, basic intention is to emphasize and make visible the dualities conscious/unconscious, dream/reality. In this respect, projection in performance signifies the unconscious and the dreamer, and the actual presence of the performer signifies the conscious awakened ‘me’.
