JOURNEYS TO THE COUNTRYSIDE. VOLUME TWELVE

138. Slogan -2014 glimpsed on the western and the eastern ones

A large cloth sheet purple in color (6 m x 1.5 m) with the last names of all those present at CA actions since 1976 (258 names) printed on it, as the organizers and viewers of the action moved simultaneously along the shores of the Yauza from east to west, was hung three times in different spots between trees on the southern shore of the Yauza (facing the group of viewers located on the northern shore). On the first spot, the slogan hung for 1 minute, on the second – two minutes, and on the third – 3 minutes. During the third step (the three-minute stretching of the slogan), the viewers were given the action's factography, consisting of 13 x 18 cm photographs taken ahead of time depicting the place (the trees) on the southern shore of the Yauza where it had been suggested to stretch the slogan during the action with the list of the previous CA slogans printed above as follows:

 

Slogan – 1977 (the red one), Slogan – 1978 (the one in Zvenigorod),

Slogan – 1980 (the one in Yakutia), Slogan – 1986 (the secret one),

Slogan – 1989 (the finance one), Slogan – 2003 (the Heidegger one)

Slogan 2005 (the Buddhist one), Slogan – 2008 (the unsuccessful one)

Slogan – 2011 (the one in Mytishchy), Slogan – 2014 (the one that glanced by).

After the distribution of factography, the group moved to the two hills on the northern shore (on them is where in 1990 the action Polaroid (PP) took place), at which point the group was invited to divide in half: those whose  names were on the slogan and those whose names were not there (that was those audience members who had come to their first CA action). The first group (the 17 people who were at the action + the organizers) was photographed on the western hill, while the second group of 23 people (first time attending an action) – on the eastern one. After which, everyone descended the hills and a photograph of the entire group of participants was taken in between the two hills.
