Mariana Yaremchyshyna - Performativetrina

I was coming for a month-long residency to Curtidos with a fixed idea: to lock myself inside with an Iberian pig for the entire time of the residency; to replace my simple and beautiful everyday encounters with a challenging and restricted co-existence with an animal.

Now I am here, and where is it all going?

Animals pass by, animals come in. People pass by, people come in. They become my performative partners. They leave something with me, and they leave.
