In the text Intermediality in Macedonian theatre, which uses the play Macedonian bloody wedding by Vojdan Chernodrinski, directed by Ljupco Gorgievski, as an example, an attempt is made at representing intermediality in theatrical performance. It is achieved through a ready-made technique in which a significant role is played by the music group Foltin and their performance. They use various props, which they turn into their instruments. This leads to their actualization through dedication to their essence. In this way, the old forms and elements of the traditional folk culture cross the bounds of time, reading the folklore signs in the style of the postmodern scene expressions.

A historical photograph of women and children from the Mizocz ghetto taken in 1942 just before their execution constitutes one of the most recurring motifs in Bracha L. Ettinger’s visual art. By means of her artworks, Ettinger endeavours to retrieve these women’s dignity and work through their traumas at a point when they are unable to do it themselves. Yet, one cannot ignore a number of questions that arise in the context of this kind of aesthetic practice; after all, Ettinger uses an archival photograph, taken by an anonymous photographer, and her acts of altering and decontextualising this “ready-made” material are aimed at producing a certain artistic effect. The objective of this article is to reflect on the issue of authorship in Bracha L. Ettinger’s theory and art. Having introduced two Eurydicial artworks, I proceed to unravel the status of a matrixial artist-author. In order to do so, I analyse such notions as ready-made art, matrixial Otherness, trauma of the World, gaze, and appropriation.
