   DANAЁ is a performance, premiered at MASA gallery, July 2022. Performance is on the role of women in modern society, while a woman's relative "value" or "capital" either decreases or increases, a woman's fate is formed in relation to the fluctuations of these financial flows - a woman is perceived as a "commodity" in the free market, and it is important to know , whether funds should be invested in such a "product", or whether this "good" can become an object of necropolitics. The author refers to the ideas of Karl Marx on the circulation of capital, the ideas of Michel Foucault on biopolitics and the ideas of the modern philosopher Paul B. Precciado on the pharmacopornographic regime of advanced capitalism.

    Collaboration with artist Vika Eksta - performance "Nebula Within" at Riga Performance Festival, Riga, June 2018

    Photos: Paulis Jakušonoks, Vika Eksta, Jeļena Glazova, Igors Gubenko, Anna Laine

    Performance is an artistic research on psychological reaction on sexual and psychological violence and individual practices of escapism that lead to disassociation and destruction of one's identity. It is inspired by a personality and tragic life story of the sister of Vika's grandmother Zonia who was deported to Germany for a forced labour as a teenager. Several years after returning home mental disorders started and followed her throughout her eighty five years long life. Zonia lives in several universes and sometimes her behavior was incomprehensible but she was very close person to Vika since childhood and inspired her for many interesting things. Sound space of the performance is based on the archive of vinyl records of “Big Medicine encyclopaedia” that was produced at the time when Zonia's mental illness was diagnosed - in the end of 1950s – beginning of 1960s.
    
    Performance is created and performed by Vika Eksta and Jeļena Glazova.
