Performance

With this work I want to question the point of view of the spectator as well as the power that representation and fiction have on our mechanisms of perception. The created device consists basically of an armchair, a television and a video camera that I manipulate from the armchair. This way I create a film, of which I am, at the same time, the spectator, thus splitting reality into a staged situation and a filmed situation.

This device has a black hole, a blind spot, a dead time that allows me to play with what the spectator does not see, and offer multiple spaces that coexist in one; structures that are developed infinitely; double images and double actions; games of reality and fiction; the fragmentation of the body and the image; multiplicity of characters; the contradictory passing of time.
