Eggs

Polina Kanis’ video “Eggs” shows the artist on a rooftop, trying to catch in her skirt eggs that fly from all directions. She catches some, but not all. The artist runs from left to right — just like the Soviet video game where the Wolf from “Just You Wait!” catches eggs in a basket on the screen. “Eggs” is a statement on the gender status of the individual, as part of the social structure of prescribed relations between the sexes. It documents a performance in which the artist considers the theme of voluntary female victimization and the nature of aggression that is realized in socially legitimate forms.
