Blot

Blot. Video performance, 10 min. Camera Vydmantas Plepys. 2001. The title of the work is borrowed from the Soviet-period animated children’s film We Are Looking for the Blot or Klyaksa in Russian. The main protagonist, the anti-hero of the film, travels across the album of the painter’s best drawings, smudging everything on its way. Two characters in pursuit of him run into a black man on the island and take him for the Blot.
