With certificate signed by the artist - Pile of pure New Zealand wool and linen // The Flying by Ilja Kabakov, created in 2006, is a tapestry that vividly depicts a surreal scene of human figures soaring above a landscape of rubble and city structures. Rendered in muted sepia tones, the composition captures a sense of both whimsy and desolation. Figures appear to be reaching out to one another or holding onto makeshift flying contraptions, embodying a sense of escape and longing for transcendence. The tapestry blends realistic details with dreamlike elements, typical of Kabakov’s style, which often explores themes of aspiration, isolation, and the human desire for freedom amidst constraint. The delicate texture and restrained color palette give the piece a nostalgic, contemplative quality, inviting viewers to reflect on the intersection of reality and imagination.

What is Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
