Vulnerability. Performative Action

On November 24, at 7 PM, IZOLYATSIA presents the performative action Vulnerability by Maria Plotnikova and Ani Zur.

What is empathy and self-sacrifice? How do we justify the satisfaction of our own interests at the expense of others? What is harder, seeing the fragility and vulnerability of the other, or showing one’s own? The study of basic principles of human coexistence is an integral part of Maria Plotnikova’s artistic practice, and just like her previous works, Vulnerability deals with human interactions and social relations underpinning our society.
