Katarzyna Kozyra
Madonna from Pelago, 2005, 4:03 min


The video you are looking for is no longer available.

The small Tuscan town of Pelago (home of the Fondazione Lanfranco Baldi) and the surrounding hills were the site of the artist´s first procession, which combined elements of a religious pageant and a traveling folk festival. Four men carry a bier upon which a figure stands. Though modeled after iconographic portrayals of the Madonna standing on a crescent moon, the figure wears the facemask of Kozyra and holds an open umbrella in its hands. Leading the procession is the Maestro, wearing a rat mask and a purple cardinal´s robe, dancing to the rhythms of Olympia´s Aria from Offenbach´s The Tales of Hoffman playing on portable speakers. At the top of a hill, the figure disappears and observers witness a blue raincoat soar into the sky. Kozyra then appears as a cocotte, wearing a deep cut dress, feathers in her hair and heavy make-up. Conducted by the Maestro in his purple cardinal´s robe, she performs the Queen of the Night´s Aria from Mozarts The Magic Flute. As in Fassadenconcerto, so here the artist freely samples and combines elements from various poetics and realities.
