A gazebo installation for the garden of the Yellow Mill, created as part of the theatrical project "Moulin à Paroles". The frame of curved wooden arches echoes the shape of a full skirt — a shelter from within, a silhouette from without. At the top, a flat female figure is mounted on a rotating pin: she spins in the wind like a weathervane, and reads simultaneously as Alice mid-fall — suspended between worlds, hair streaming.
Inside — not chairs, but swings. Not a table on legs, but a round tabletop hanging on ropes. From the dome dangle teapots, cups, saucers, little bottles labelled "Drink Me". Everything is suspended, everything sways gently. Tea here is not a ritual of order, but a state of weightlessness.
The work was created by personal invitation of Slava Polunin, as part of an international residency with participants selected competitively from students of the British Higher School of Art and Design, Moscow.
