Yaryna Shumska is a Ukrainian performer who explores the concept of the human being as a catalyst for change in the primary meanings of places and situations. She attempts to reveal the dichotomy and ambiguity of what is real. The topics she addresses are mainly linked to places and memories of objects, people and their invisible stories.
Her performances are physically and emotionally connected to specific places and contexts, through a careful and profound study of the elements above.
For her residency with Latitudo Art Projects, she explored the building of Corviale in Rome with the idea of physically subverting the imposing and iconic form of the 1-kilometre-long structure. The artist collected opinions, noises, thoughts, memories and stories, which were then transformed into movements staged during a final collective performance.
The audio piece, which was inserted as an audio installation during the performance, evokes the constant flow of life within the building.
*The performance will take place along the exhibition, keep updated on landed.magiccarpets.eu
