How we strangled a unicorn [1]: (unicorn1)

A woman's body comes to the fore, a body whose ritual has been eradicated and merged with the fast-paced everyday life. He is subject to a lack of common ground, but by dancing, he establishes new bonds, builds new tissues and organs, assembles into a whole and finds himself in the space of community. Let there be no more room for violence in it, this body is a political body, it is historical, it is revolutionary, it is the one that carries notches in itself. And don't bleed. It draws strength from them. Let sound and image merge in the wounds, let the image of the body be formed, which will no longer be crossed, but stepped forward. In the first project (Unicorn 1), the art group How We Strangled a Unicorn transforms words on paper into an audio image, which merges into a medium of video and dance. The separation of the source of the voice from the body thus depicts a phenomenal body in an image that creates a presence and thus a new story in the space of the settlement. Video projection merges with it precisely by opposing the presence of the body and thus transforming it into the ecstasy of things.

[1] According to the interpretation of Jane Kvas in the accompanying study on the Unicorn by Gregor Strniša (DZS, 1995), strangulation of the unicorn is supposed to be a metaphor for sex.
