Do domu!

Go home!

 

Do domu!, PL-Warszawa 2006

Duration 15 minutes

Description of action In the galleryspace is standing a miniature woodenhouse, inside hidden a red apple. Angelika Fojtuch (AF) enters the room with her dog Mędzius fixed with gauze bandage on her upper part of the body, just her right arm and the head of the dog are outside. With her stiff and sprawled out arm she shakes hands with the visitors in the gallery and welcomes everybody.

She is standing astride beside the woddenhouse. Suddenly a stream of liquid is floating out of her dress on the floor. AF kneels down and drinks her urin directly from the floor like a dog. She stands up and takes her knee-socks off and dark earth appears suddenly. With her feets she creates a small hill besides the house out of her urin and the earth. The dog is all the time quit and looking around. A smal polish flag AF puts on the top of the small hill. Barefooted she climbs on the roof of the house and hums a melody which is recognisable as -If I was a rich man... - from the Broadway musical - Fiddler on the roof-. AF climbs down from the roof and turns around the house, takes out off it the red apple. In this moment her dog gets exciteted. AF throws the apple across the gallery. The dog is running after the apple, catches and bites it. AF leaves the room.
