Cutting Through The Clouds of Myth was a series of actions, an intimate happening, an experiential installation and a language of communication. Two personas with radically different approaches to performance and in drastically different moments in life were placed within a space for a specific duration of time. This room was at once far too tiny and too vast for the both of them. This juxtaposition, this placement in time and space created a necessity of opposites to co-existence. The necessity to co-exist on a common ground was the only common ground; co-existence became a bare fact rather than a statement.
ULAY’s use of time and space is radical. True to his legacy, he came in and left his mark; he was the only protagonist in the action. Whereas JAŠA’s approach to performance centres on molding time into something less palpable, through creating a rhythm that goes beyond what it seems. The environment and JAŠA’s actions are one of the same, a body where every autonomous element works within the wholeness. By virtue of the necessity to co-exist, JAŠA created a reacting environment for and to ULAY; progressive, reactionary, a landscape, a soundscape, a physical condition, a living atmosphere within which each (artist) can stand for what he is and who he is.
