Land art-performance at Murla lake between Sopot and Karlovo
idea and performance: Albena Mihaylova - Bendji
аssistant: Vesko Velev
April. Dam between Sopot and Karlovo. With a rowboat, I cross the lake from coast to coast, spreading paper tape over the water’s surface. Landscape is appreciated and intervention is sought, opportunities for contact with the land are recognised. In places along the coast, the tape wraps around a tree’s crown, covers the terrain in the shape of a spiral, encircles shrubs or stones. The more the lake “wraps”, i.e., it is taken over by human consciousness and intervention, the more the body develops and releases itself. While rowing the boat, I undress. I’m sitting naked in the boat, in the center of the lake.
