Solutions to homesickness

The following contribution is a description of an artistic work – a street performance in which my dearest doll from childhood became an expressive object, an animated figure that helped me to elaborate theoretical ideas for my doctoral research. I never knew how to play with dolls until I took this doll with me to the street and treated her as co-actor. In addition to the description of this performance the text includes an analysis of animating this doll based on the theory with its main components (mode, location, aspect) developed for my thesis.
