Year: 1991

 

This video performance was made very spontaneously, in the presence of friends. Astghik Melkonyan and I put the camera on the ground and started playing like dogs. There was no initial idea. The whole point was to evoke different emotions in those present through action. Those present mostly laughed or looked at us in surprise. This housing action shows our sometimes thoughtless, sometimes dangerous series of activities.
