With certificate signed by the artist // The Flying #4 by Ilja Kabakov, created in 2006, is a tapestry that captures a surreal scene of a man floating horizontally above a cityscape, as if in flight. Rendered in muted blue and earthy tones, the piece evokes a sense of dreamlike freedom and introspection, with the figure hovering above detailed buildings and rooftops that stretch towards the horizon. The simplicity of the color palette and the texture of the tapestry enhance the contemplative mood, drawing attention to the contrast between grounded urban life below and the solitary figure soaring above. Kabakov’s work often explores themes of escapism, isolation, and the human desire for transcendence, making this piece a powerful visual metaphor for liberation and the yearning to break free from constraints.

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.
