Barrier of the Word (Majority), 2019
18 objects, welded aluminium, blackboard paint, hand-engraved words.
These objects refer to my experience with writing in the age between 13 and 18 years old.
Plan B, 2017-2019. 2019 20 prints, size 80cm by 120cm.
Plan B are the ideas for my performance works that will be done, have been done, and will never be done. They are the drawings selected from my sketchbooks, which I use to write down my ideas for live art performances.I have scanned and digitally processed them. By doing this, I use original drawings and create new works without depriving the drawings and the ideas behind them from their authenticity.
The Plan B works are secondary to the live performance works. They are the after-shock or the aftertaste that is present upon the completion of a live performance.
