My Hut Is On The Edge

Visual analytical study of contemporary ignorance on social and political issues

‘My Hut Is On The Edge’ is a project, where Katerina Kouzmitcheva visualises various traditional proverbs of different languages referring to avoidance and minding your own business with fictional scenarios. Each of the picture refers to the proverb of one and the same meaning - „I don’t care”. Katerina plays with humour and visually interpret contemporary ignorance on social and political issues.

Though we can all participate in social life in different ways. Therefore in her project she is thinking about empathy as a necessary phenomenon for the development of communities and building of tolerance. By making visual performance, Katerina invites to symbolically sit on someone’s chair and to understand what guides a person in determining his/her position of civic behaviour.
