SELF[INTENTIONS], 3' 19", 2017/18
The self – as the deepest representation of itself – and its intense desire to permeate in the expression and language of the Other, blazes the project [self] Insertions, as another untimely view. It’s not a simple addition, but rather a particular approach about the artist’s | performer’s potential as an inherent part of the work of the Other and its own world. The video and sound will be the most evident media and will be combined in a new work.
