The Reenactment A-105
MUSEUM OF OUR TRAVELS, 2021

21.08, Domodedovo, Moscow
Performance and installation with Anya Gorina

Reenactment A-105 is a project dedicated to hitchhiking and life on the road. If you have ever been on a long trip by car, you must be familiar with the feeling when the road and the car itself becomes home, we start to live by the rules of the road. And when we hitchhike, it's as if we come to visit different drivers, each of whom has their own rhythm of life, their own favorite music, food we are treated to, topics for conversation. And of course it is a huge adventure, in which something unexpected happens all the time. Masha and I often hitchhike and by the time we realized this work we had already accumulated a lot of amazing stories and artifacts. During the demonstration of the work the audience could enter the minivan, which for a while became a road museum and see the exhibition, in which we tried to collect all the most valuable artifacts from our travels and listen to our stories: in the car were broadcasted audio recordings collected from our stories about the experience of hitchhiking, records made by us in cars and a playlist of songs that were once put to us by drivers. And also we had a few outing sessions, when a minivan took the audience on a small trip along the A-105 highway.
