Interview by Barbara Lehtna
PERFORMATIVE EXPERIMENT – HAIR
Barbara: hello miss dragon, can you describe the experiment you have planned?
Eryfili: I have started collecting the hair that fall out of my head, I will do this for a month and then I will use these hair maybe on tops of some photographs, in a form of collage that can be photographed again
B: Is there a certain hypothesis that you are trying to prove in this experiment?
E: Seeing the hair as the abject, transforming from beautiful to something disgusting. An archive of something that happens in the body. I want to re - introduce them to the skin, see how they can affect the formation of the body
B: I understand it is a transgressive piece of an experiment. Have you considered the form and audience participation?
E: I haven't yet decided what kind of photographs I will use (my skin, my ancestors etc.) I don't think that it will be participatory.
B: Is there a notion of risk within the experiment? Could you locate that?
E: The risk is that I want to follow the steps of the design and then try and do them without first testing them. I want to keep the surprise.
B: What are the parts that can be considered failure?
E: If my initial design couldn't be completed, but then I wouldn't diregard it. I want to use the failure. What does the failure say?
B: Is the experiment about you succeeding and failing in making the experiment?
E: No, the purpose is to use the hair and re activate them but failure is welcomed.
