East & West in Peace

Neda Darzi's one day performance & tapestry show was held in Cite international
Arts Paris 13th Nov- 2004.

For having more addressee related to project, decided to have this show out of limited gallery.
Considered the tapestry as a butterfly, whose right wing is eastern countries' symbol& left wing as the westerns, in the middle they come together in peace & turn into one face in a white background, hanged on chosen fall trees!
Believing everything is not complete even for the peace condition, installed the tapestry between the instable trees, whose leaves are changing the color from
green to orange & even leaves less.

Getting rid of her cover as an eastern butterfly woman, while the western
accordion was playing. Started to fly, give her hands to the others, turn around a
circle, welcome new visitors to her peace world; but even the sky got moody for
this way &began raining. Being hopeful, the peaceful moments continued the life;
holding each others hands, they went to elevator….

East & West by one
Without any contrast, jammed in a peace moment
Human is coming, human is leaving
But this moment is off
A sound from East, a sound from west
Butterfly dance, my hands, your hands, our hands
All in white
In an eastern house, in a western city
No difference
Just WHITE WHITE WHITE….
