Andy Barrt
The Snow Flower of the North
Sculptural Performance
Performed by Andy Barrt, Anton Ershov, and Gabriele Grassi
Music by Felix Ventouras
Presented as part of CYFEST 17: Natura Naturans: Human Beings, Nature, Landscape.
·
The Snow Flower of the North revives an ancient form of reindeer herders’ communication, where messages were left through symbolic objects placed near stones or mounds. Embodying the Snow Flower, the artist conceals messages within its petals, inviting visitors to receive one in exchange for leaving their own.
Accompanied by an original composition by Felix Ventouras, the work unfolds as a ritual of exchange, memory, trust, and survival—creating a living circulation of messages between strangers.
