Taus, giving you a short answer. Still dealing with my Internet connection at home
you asked me - what do you see as the end product?
I was going to show a video documentation of the the work we have done together presented on 6 screens, our dialogues, collection of the working material and as a main body of the exhibition the final product, an art piece that each girl will make. Art work will be dedicated to Ophelia, therefore will give her presents in the project. Their work will be based on researching her life. As you know Ophelia was Hamlet’s great love but she had her own story. Her childhood, her being brought up as a prostitute, her education, her ideals, her madness and many more. The fact that her character will be discussed by 6 immigrant girls will give to the project a multi dimension. In order to discuss somebodies life you need to discuss and understand your own. don’t you think? this will be tough but interesting. natalia
Will you be showing works by the 6 participants? Or your own documentation and description of the process? For me this work is about passing on the skill, the research skill, I like it, but I feel that it has nothing to do with Ophelia…what do you think?
