Maybe Kolja’s experiment of merging his body (human) with the tree (nature) venturing into a border zone between the earth and the sky is due to his purity of spirit, to the grandeur of the idiots, or the foolishness of the mystics; or is it all this together? Maybe it is a symptom of the enlightened – or simply an elaborated suicide.
It was produced for the exhibition Salomé Lamas: Parafiction at Serralves Museum, Porto (20 February – 3 May 2015)
