Pierwszy raz w Drohobyczu
First Time in Drohobycz

Summary/Abstract: The author (artist and performer) describes her first visit in Drohobycz /Drohobych: “Here am standing in my favourite spot in Drohobycz, at the corner of the market square, which inclines slightly downward. This is the cosmic angle of the Drohobycz market square. By means of this slightly folded corner Drohobycz is connected with the Cosmos. I imagine and feel this, and am convinced that this is where space is most translucent and pure and air is endlessly transparent. And at that exact moment when I had the impression that the air is crystal clear and transparent I opened my suitcase and filled it with air. Next, I shut the suitcase and set off to Bianka’s villa in order to open the suitcase during my performance and let the air out. While I was walking across Drohobycz carrying my suitcase towards Bianka’s villa I asked the people I met on the way about the words, which I wished to translate from the Polish to Ukrainian: first time – vpershe; space – prostir; air – povitrya; transparency – prozorist; purity – prozorist; comprehensible – zrozumile, pure – prozore.
