The Obliment
In this series of Guerilla performances Dani Chё and Galina Shevchenko temporarily hijacked monuments in public squares of Chicago, by projecting video content on the monument surface, and performing emotional songs that temporarily propped up experiences in the collective immigrant subconsciousness that are slowly submerging into oblivion.
