Immersive performance «Art by Accident»
1833 S Hope st., Los Angeles, CA
28 April 2021
In this immersive performance, I invited participants to explore what it might mean to become a contemporary artist by accident.
I wanted to question whether a work of art must emerge through a long and deliberate process, or whether it can be created unexpectedly, in a matter of seconds. I was also interested in the identity of the artist: do we consciously choose to become artists, or can a sequence of chance encounters and accidental events lead us there?
Throughout the performance, participants became active collaborators, experimenting freely and discovering their own unexpected creative potential. The spontaneity of the process allowed them to experience art not only as a finished object, but as an unpredictable journey shaped by curiosity, intuition, and chance.
The project invited everyone to reconsider where art begins, who is allowed to create it, and how an accidental gesture might become an artistic breakthrough.
