postcard invitation for a dance, 2021

by Choreographer Evangelia Kolyra & Visual Artist Lea Petrou

A participatory art installation with 200 A6-size numbered postcardcards, and a 1-minute stop motion video. 

From an early age, we are well-trained and especially familiar with the use of instructions as a means of transmitting information. We are used to accepting written information that describe the directions for the use of a particular object, material, tool or digital medium. Other times, instructions are given to us as an indication of how we should act. 

The use of guidelines and the establishment of health protocols during the recent pandemich had a definite impact on our lives. The strict observace of distances, the controlled exit from our houses, the mandatory use of a mask and the enforced use of anticeptics before and after contacting objects and people, have created a new kind of reality. postcard invitation for a dance, 2021 concerns the repositioning of the human body in space and the interpretation of free movement.

200 numbered postcards were available to the public during the exhibition. The design of the cards consists mainly of a text describing in detail the very simple movement instructions of the choreography performed on a 1-minute stop motion video. Visitors could take a card as a souvenir, as well as indulge in the suggested practice on-site at the exhibition space or at home.
