Krista un Reinis Dzudzilo

The creative duo Krista and Reinis Dzudzilo is active in the visual arts, theatre and opera. For their visual art projects, the artists employ expressive techniques akin to stage design, such as intensive spatial dramaturgy and active cooperation with the viewer. 

In “Love is Blind II,” the authors use laconic means of expression to evocatively conjure up the essence of human loneliness and a metaphor for personal disagreements.

Daniil Kharms’ “A Confession of Love” (1933) – a six-replica long scene – is played on two text screens placed on opposite walls of an empty room. In absolute silence, inner monologue phrases light up then disappear on the screens, without reaching their intended recipients. The absolute whiteness of the space turns into a total symbolic darkness in which two lovers are condemned to suffer for eternity from their inability to tell each other what really matters, even while sharing the same room. And only the viewer in another dimension (possibly in their own mind) can unite these two lonelinesses.
