The entry to the performance was a poem by Vladislav Leshkevich:

        “The ground exploded, immediately something stuck in the neck
        It was terrible: his legs were taken away and he was struggling with them
        In a cloudy mixture of mud, blood, urine and glass
        He struggled and groaned and hoarse, and at four o'clock
        Everything passed, everything ended, he died there
        How does this relate to the fact that his mother put gel on his throat when he was a child?
        How does this relate to dad
        Was he tying his football scarf?
        How does this compare to the way Lila was hanging around that neck, how she was getting tangled up?
        How she ran away with him and everything went unpunished
        There is no connection between these stories.
 

Performance for Peace is about the sad helplessness of wanting to remind everyone involved in war how beautiful he was as a child. It is an attempt to rescue the child from the rubble of hatred, anger and violence. Could someone allow, even in his thoughts, to poke the neighbor's eye with a stick for laughs, or to rape the girl next door and then fill her vagina with mounting foam just for fun?

The performance is about war as a product of collective consciousness and the need to evolve from its animal rudiments. We reflect each other like a mirror, we must realize that if there was a war, first of all, our humanity carries the war within itself and the war continues on various scales all the time.

I am lying on cinder blocks with 36 snails, which are considered an invasive species, and in Google we have: "Lime severely burns the delicate skin of the snail, ultimately killing it. The average dose of lime is approximately 4 kg per 100 square meters. The state of war begins in everyone's garden, we passionately want to destroy our local enemies, we start with snails, then we take it outside
