| | An exhibition and theatrical performance that took place on September 3, 2022 at REDAH in Berlin (Silbersteinstraße 133, 12051). The exhibition features four three-dimensional contemporary works made of various materials, inviting the viewers to participate and reflect on their experiences. The theatrical performance is inspired by the Greek myth of Narcissus, exploring the concept of narcissism in a nuanced way. The use of ice as a modern interpretation of water adds an abstract and ironic logic to the installation and performance, allowing for an endless reflection of oneself. The performance aims to explore the multifaceted aspects of narcissism without judgment, creating a safe space for self-exploration and reflection." |
| | |
| Apart from the installation there is a theatrical performance inspired by the greek methodology, Narcissus. Guiding the audiences from the broken background of narcissists, to the transformation of self-esteem, then being overwhelmed by self absorption, the lack of empathy to themselves and to others, and finally the drowning into one’s own reflection that harm one’s self.
| |
| | |
| The main material I want to use is ‘ice’, as a modern interpretation of ‘water’ which is the core material in ‘Narcissus’ methodology. To add my idea into the original material, I use the logic behind the narcissistic way of thinking: the exaggerated desire to be loved, admired and to have the support of others. As water has been used as a self-reflector or mirror in ‘Narcissus’. The abstract and ironic logic behind ‘ice’ is to maintain that feeling of seeing oneself in the reflection forever as it is the endless reflection and absorption of oneself. | |
| | |
| Therefore ‘ice’ has been use in this project as a main medium in the installation, performance and the making of sound. The sound we used in the performance had been recorded on the day from the ice on the stage along with other materials I use in the installation works. Purposely, we wanted to make it as live as possible in order to create a fresh energy and allow audiences to take part in the show as much as we can.

| | |
| The performance aims to non-verbally define the terms of narcissism in multifaceted aspects and include the beauty and the beast of narcissistic traits. Even though, it does not indicate towards what is good and bad, as there is nothing as such but to create a safe space where we can equally explore ourselves and our complex minds. It purposely wants to seduce, embrace, stimulate and tickle the narcissist in all of us. | |
