Perygeum is a term derived from astronomy delineating a point where an object – most often the Moon \u2013 is at its closest proximity to the Earth, which makes it look enormous and most impressive. Therefore Perygeum for me is the moment of admiration and proximity to beauty. At this point, I am closest to mystery, but still far enough for my own imagination to eclipse the real sight. It is more of a desire than fulfilment.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the elements of the Project is a dress. Beautiful. Red. This motif has reappeared several times in my previous realizations. The first was a wedding dress, the so called \u201cmeringue\u201d. It was ten times larger than my original size which made me feel like a little girl trying on a dress of the adult bride. Giant and uncompromised in its form the dress was displayed together with several photos (Ponad miar\u0119, ale w normie<\/em> \/Oversized but compliant with the norm<\/em>, 2001).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next wedding dress appeared in the series of photographs Tak czyli Nie<\/em> \/ Yes meaning No<\/em> and Najpi\u0119kniejszy dzie\u0144 w \u017cyciu<\/em> \/The Best Day of My Life<\/em>. In this series I employed an original dress of my close friend. Also, a number of original wedding photos of various couples were used \u2013 these were either taken by professionals or by wedding guests. This time the dress fitted me perfectly, just like my whole effigy fitted into the documents of somebody else\u2019s weddings. Instead of the outfits I \u201ctry on\u201d the grooms in fact. And the choice is not easy since all of them fit equally well. Other dresses appeared in Kwiat Paproci<\/em> \/Fern blossom. They were the First Holy Communion dresses, really tawdry and bourgeois in style. They all looked cheap and resembled shrunken wedding dresses. The little outfits were spinning in an odd, monotonous dance and their flock was surrounded by pictures of mongrel\u00a0 bitch dogs with looks far from classic beauty. The bitches were compatible with the dresses \u2013 although ugly but loved and sentimental with their non-obvious beauty. Their task was to guard the present bourgeois order.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The idea for the next dress had been maturing for long time. While the former ones represented a disagreement with the status quo, this particular one was supposed to embody a dream. I was watching the funeral ceremony of John Paul II and the blaze of multiple colours attracted my attention there: red and crimson threaded with gold \u2013 all visible in the robe shattered by the wind. The sight of the splendour and power of the highest church dignitaries was hypnotizing. So when I realised that my 13-year-old neighbour was an altar girl, I immediately pictured a dress that she could be wearing if the involvement of the girls in the church came with the possibility of promotion, as in case with men. \u201cWhat dress could Ania be wearing if she became a cardinal?\u201d If the robes worn by male dignitaries of the church resemble royalty, what would then their counterparts destined for women look like? Would they look like a queen\u2019s gown?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The dress resulted from cooperation with the Kasia Hubinska\u2019s fashion atelier. It is aimed at setting our imagination in motion; it becomes the focal point of the project. It is surrounded by other petit objects, which float around it together with a text written by Kinga Iwasiow. The text is a record of the whispers uttered during the fitting and refers to the texture and meaning of the priest\u2019s cassock being transferred into a fabulous woman\u2019s dress. The dream of beauty and initiation slowly burning in a tight stomach, is changed into jewels that are excreted only when they are neither seen, heard or judged by anyone. It is no longer a fantasy\u00a0 about God but a fantasy about splendour and power. And since it is impossible to fulfil, it starts building \u2013 within the object \u2013 fabulous sharp bezoars that cause mutilations by which one approximates perygeum.<\/p>\n
