Project: Bird-text-waves

The performance is an assemblage of sculptural objects with decontextualized corporal elements, which are presented by the artist through touch. The presents objects are formalized with volatile and transparent materials, where the uncertainty of the presented images remind us of what is hidden in our bodies. The concept of skin is used as a symbol that works as a border, water or a mirror.

Project: Oscillations

Through the presentation of the performative object that guides the performance, the work examines the idea a the skin beeing used as a “control surface”. The performers use the central piece as an intrument to both guide and be guided, depending on the variations that may occur at each specific moment.

The formal presentation of the object is the image of a frecked back, its freckles perforated to allow light to reach the inside of the instrument. It will be affected by all the atmospheric conditions (light, heat, pressure) that make up the space where the live performance takes place. Underlining the importance of “now” in how the action works itself out.
