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.’’
