Between Dog and Wolf
Maria Gvardeitseva
Paper, clay
London, UK
2023
The unique name is taken from the French saying "entre chien et loup" and refers to the moments after sunset when the sky darkens and vision becomes blurred, making it difficult to distinguish between dogs and wolves, friends and foes.
You are no longer you, you are a wolf or a dog in the desert or at the bottom of the ocean as it was millions of years ago. In all of Mаria Gvardeitseva's installations and performances you are immersed as in a terrible dream, or to put it another way, the artist talks to your "unconscious": who you are, what are your ethical and social roles, what is your collective and personal memory. How ready are you for reincarnations and at what speed can they occur in you?
This work was a part of Between Dog and Wolf installation and performance by the artist.
