the shared table
The project is a series of 16 portraits of the same size (42 х 32 cm),
oil on canvas on panel. They are presented together with a movie, which is demonstrated on a vintage TV. A big table for 12 is installed in the middle of the room for every0ne to share.
It represents local community of a small town in the south
of France. Their stories are told in painting, analogue photography,
a movie and text explication.
why mixed media?
Footage as a peek into their daily routines, analogue photography as a part of classic reportage angle, text explications as a document of personal interaction between the artist and her heroes and painted portraits as an ultimate result of this interaction.

Next stage of the project
During the exhibition I orchestrated 3 shared table live performances
that I have been documented for the second part of the project - a
monumental painting of a symbolic dinner for 12.
