Description
“Face It“ is a visual representation reflecting the continuous conflict between Christians and Muslims. Macedonian artist Igor Josifov, presents a multi-media exhibition – performance art, video and photography, expressing the history of the conflict between Christians and Muslims that has existed in this region for centuries.The artist’s performance will be staged between two iconic photographs where the subjects are wearing ‘horse blinders’ which have now become ‘human blinders’. Each leather blinder, has been etched and burned with Christian iconography and Muslim motifs separately.
The project “Face It“ will also involve a large installation of two large billboards on the opposite banks of the Vardar River in Skopje. This is to raise awareness about the current social and political divisions that exist in Macedonia.
