Družba (Corner#2)

2019-20

In Družba (Corner # 2), the performer's body establishes an interaction/friendship (Družba = friendship) with the austere corners of the former Hotel Družba with the intention of extinguishing them through its position as a semicircumference in space. The action and occupation of the figure took place in the corners of the historic building, built in the 1950s to celebrate the 4th Republic of Czechoslovakia and to reinforce links with the Soviet Union.

For Catherine Dyrssen (2011), an approach to the architectural thought of the city cannot be disconnected from an exercise of performativity, to which drawing is frequently called. For the author, performance models become a tool that favors the search for new sensory approaches, which can serve as a catalyst for new ideas. Basically, it is about using methodologies based on performative processes, which allows the emerge of relational events between body and architecture.
