Megalomania

Author: Achot Achot (Achot Ghazaryan)

The performance was realised in the frame of the Anykščiai Happening Seminar;

Plasce: Lithuania

Year: 1989

The performance took place during the second edition of the gathering of artists and musicians (who initiated this festival of outdoor performances). Achot Achot is interacting with a pig signed by the artist. Both of them are wearing lipstick. He is trying to kiss the pig who is moving away. After being chased, the pig lies down, and the author joins him and hugs him. The idea is that we love only ourselves and what we see in others is a mirror of ourselves.
