a critic of "Change or exchange" performance

written by: Maria Bilasevschi

Four artists, four different personalities, two different civilizations joined together in a ritual, the ritual of creation. With the appearance of performance art, the process of kneading, modeling, a transformation that took place within the space of the gallery, transcended the space, stopped time, and challenged humanity to look at its own features, at its own identity traits. Half faces, feet, and hands, elbow joints, all build up one on the other, in a circle that reminds of ancient beliefs, of the sun, of round gates in which all humanity is confined, such as in a golden bowl, seems to be an ode to life, to earth, to humanity. Arezu Zargar, Sadegh Bagheri, Ionela Sandrina Mihuleac, and Ileana Danci spent 9 hours in silence, in communion, in a mystic bond through which they transferred every piece of art they created, on the public and the passive viewers, some lost secrets about freedom and universal roots, of the fragility intrinsic to art and human alike.
