NON-AIR/ performance

This work is an exploration of my relationship with the urban environment through bodily collision and lived experience.

I explore the moment when the natural connection begins to break, and man finds himself under the domination of an artificial, urbanised environment.

Here, nature is not presented as an aesthetic or romantic image. It is a vital necessity, the absence of which I feel in my body as a tension and a growing lack from within.

The body becomes a screen on which two realities are projected:

that which the body strives for and that which actually exists.
