The body which is sometimes mute and sometimes cries; which can be seen from above or below; the body that sweats, the body that smells, the body that hurts. That body is mine.
There are three concepts that run through my work: time, repetition and meaningless. Time in search of physical wear, of forgetting oneself in order to create an event. Repetition, not in the sense of sameness, but difference; and nonsense – as the multiplicity of possible meanings.
I am interested in addressing public spaces and in activating space through the body. When removing an artwork from a safe place such as galleries and museums, the idea of art falls, and the relationship between art and life is created.
I primarily work with performance, but I also explore the links with other media, such as sound, video and activation of space.
