Performance one to one.
Værkerne er en performance eksekveret en til en, med Evalajka i et rum som man træder ind i.
Forinden er der en kunstformidler tilstede for at formidle præmissen og performancen inden man træder ind i rummet og oplever det levende værk.
Varighed: 10 min pr. performance.
Nøgle ord: Leg med grænser, leg med ritualer, leg med eksistens, leg med intimitet.
Billetter købes på ferniseringsdagen eller på billetnet.
Dato: Torsdag d. 14/03-2019 kl 15.00 - 18.00 og Torsdag d. 11/04-2019 kl. 15.00 - 18.00
Projekt beskrivelse:
TÅRNET bliver platform for Evalajkas intime univers, video værker lyser ud I mørket med stille fortællinger, inde I tårnet indtager værkerne deres plads klar til at blive fundet, drille beskueren på sin egen underfundige måde, krybe ind under huden med besnærende rituelle handlinger og lokkende hemmeligheder. Værkerne foldes ud i KULTURTÅRNET med en solo udstilling henover 2 mdr. Erindringer i åbne processer, stregtegning, lydværker, videoværker bliver til en platform af liv som evner at række længere ind, intime tanker, forbudte ord bliver vævet sammen, rituelle handlinger gentages, rummet undersøges for identitet og intimitet. Med en tværkulturel baggrund dannes mange subtile lag til åbne fortællinger og fortolkninger. Ferniseringsdagen vil videoværket , ”I am…” blive projekteret ud fra tårnet, kvindernes kampdag, til skue i det offentlige rum inviterende til dialog med identiteter, undersøger kvinders muligheder og roller med et objekt af 3mtr silke, stille poesi, udfordrer og undersøger. ” Blancas Perler” videoværk i loop på 3min uden lyd mætter sanserne m. Legen af perler som objekt , billederne præges af bevægelse uskarphed, et værk med 300 billeder klippet sammen til en blurred motion. Værket ”RAAZ” (Hemmeligheder) bliver foldet ud i et lille hemmeligt rum i tårnet som invitere til at dele intime, forbudte tanker. Homage til Boticellis ”Venus fødsel” et video værk med rituelle handlinger, håret er sat fast ved kønnet den rituelle coiffure udføres i videoen ”Venus brushes her Hair” det valgte format miniature form, en medaljon, en levende souvenir der leger med skønheds idealet. ”My childhood katekismus” videoværket tager udgangspunkt i erindrings spor, ekkoets aftryk der afsættes ved arv af miljø. Det første vers i koranen reciteres som glemte spor der spores, afbrydes, erindres og fortsætter. Spoken Word kan høres på toilettet, et intimt rum m. intime overleveret fortællinger, værket der hvisker hemmeligheder. Performance 1 til 1 dyrker ritualer, et rum hvor leg med grænser, leg med eksistens bliver udfordret. En fantastisk mulighed for at træde ind i Evalajkas univers og opleve kunsten helt tæt på.

Das Klohäuschen site specific installation by Evalajka Pervin.
Breathe in and breathe out
For Evalajka Pervin, our guest from Copenhagen, KloHäuschen is an interesting space to work on a site-specific project and unfold a video installation creating a room within the room. The site itself invites her to play along with perception and interpretation, that’s exactly what she intends to turn perception upside down when exploring the space. With Breathe in and Breathe out she explores the fields of claustrophobic small intimidating spaces.
She says about her installation: "Passing by KloHäuschen during daylight you will be able to see through a glass panel at the door, what one might expect is to see a structure providing a public space for urinal instead you will se a room covered with layers of bubble plastic inviting your senses to a voyage into a tight space with a video projection. If you listen carefully you will be able to hear a hypnotic struggling breathing filling out the space. As night falls the light streaming out from the panel and the small window on the side of the building will lure people to peep inside as voyeur almost feeling trespassing a hidden intimate sphere."
Evalajka Pervin (*1973) is based in Copenhagen working as a multimedia artist with focus on video art. The performative nature and playful approach is a vital key of Evalajka’s work.

Peak-End, is an international selection of recent short film and video projects organized around a theme of memory. Each piece finds a different path to exploring the ways in which memories are formed and recounted. Memorais (2012) by Ana Rodríguez León [Spain], is an evocative film set at the moment before the end of the world. A woman remembers her relationship with a man as the boundary between reality and what might have been begins to collapse. In CCCP (2012) by Marija Linciute [France], family photographs interweave with historical footage in this remembrance of the fall of the USSR seen through the eyes of a young Lithuanian girl. An intensely intimate piece, Hardcore (2013) by Leah Lovett [United Kingdom], focuses the camera on men’s mouths as they reenact a series of noises, heavy breathing and a few curt phrases. The unsettling sounds evoke sex and violence but are actually the men remembering the sounds they heard their partners make while giving birth. Hour Between Dog and Wolf (2013) by Abinadi Meza [Texas], begins with a journey by train, an ambiguous digital woman’s voice describes your experience to you. Composed of found mid-century footage, the viewer is at once a participant and a voyeur—she tells you, “It is amazing, and almost grotesque how things demand to repeat.” An evocative document of diaspora and acculturation, my childhood katekismus (2012) by Evalajka Pervin [Denmark], who performs the first verse of the Koran as recalled from her childhood in Pakistan. In 106 River Road (2011) by Josh Weissbach [Wisconsin], footage of a home slowly disintegrates into abstraction as a court protection order read in a deadpan voice over the image slowly unveils the violent history of that address. Snowstorm (2012) by Julia Weissenberg [Germany], is an allegorical piece depicting a memory athlete who specializes in binary numbers.
