Unexploded Bomb by Elena Lalucat

Dates: From the 21st to the 31st of December

SYNOPSIS:

‘Unexploded Bomb’ is named after a photograph by surrealist visual artist Lee Miller. An image that portrays the absurdity and paradoxes of war and how easy it is to find surreal elements in everyday life. This project combines the fascination with this artist with the hope of returning to her own creation.

Strategies, rules, systems and constraints were the protagonists of the initial research of the project. The interest lies in how the performer positions herself in front of them, obeying them as if they were an absolute truth and at the same time looking for the cracks that allow her to play with the trap.
