: S U K A O F F - D R A G O N :

The "DRAGON" cycle creates a fictional, synthetic form that doesn't have any equivalent in nature,
but is a part of the mythology created by SUKA OFF.

The process of skin shedding is analogous to the one that takes place in nature, but in this case
it's the skin that sheds the burden of the flesh.

On the other hand the image of flaying alive can also remind the viewers of mythical and historical
characters like Marsyas or Saint Bartholomeo.

The "skin shedding" - the separation from the matrix - is a converted process of creation.
The performance starts with a finished object / sculpture / image - a man covered in a synthetic
substance. The image then gets transformed and deformed and as the end result we receive
the "dragon" - an artificial form created on the basis of real human shapes.
