125. INSTALLATION AUERBAKH (SEH-2)

INSTALLATION AUERBAKH (SEH-2), 125th action by KOLLEKTIVNYE DEYSTVIYA (COLLECTIVE ACTIONS), group of Moscow Conceptual Artists, photo

Having discovered in September that the objects from the action Decoration-2010 had disappeared, we invited Sasha Auerbakh to make some kind of work in the forest where the red wrapping with the head of the peacock had been, which she did on 10.03.2010. The next day, we went to the place of action and discovered five pieces of gilded frames glued to the trees (the sixth piece of frame had fallen onto the ground and we did not find it).
Hanging a small framed photograph (4 x 2.5 cm) of the Golden Ear fountain (VDNKh) on the first tree (where the red wrapping with the head of the peacock had been, above the first fragment of Auerbakh’s golden frame), we saw, further in the forest, five meters away from this tree, six tree trunks growing shrub-like from the ground and hung on each one of them six framed photographs of the same size with images of small figures of the members of KD facing inside the circle that was formed by these six trees.
