Lithos is a performance without time limitations.
The work investigates the universal condition of collective blindness, embodied by the mask worn by the artist, a symbol of voluntary servitude to internalized social norms. These deeply ingrained beliefs render us incapable of perceiving the blood and pain we perpetuate daily.
Drawing on the reflections of Byung-Chul Han, the performance exposes how social and cultural structures shape perception, judgment, and action. Lithos challenges viewers to confront their conditioned vision, deconstruct internalized narratives, and acknowledge individual responsibility.
The performance, repeatable at the artist’s discretion, transforms each gesture into a critical reflection on perception, power, and the invisible dynamics of society.
Nourish and nourish through fluids, a direct and constant contact of connection with nature. The need for connection with the Earth, with the natural elements, even the most raw and violent. The motivation comes from a deep terror towards the social dynamics that are part of my daily life, of which I fear I am a voluntary slave. The need to dig and search for the truth of existence.
