The performance The unsituated position considers space as vehicle of subtle realities, like surprises.


Being alive led me to think that all entities, objects, persons or situations, reach the apex of self-manifestation at the moment when they express the capacity to change in number.
If I think of my body, for example, and imagine it divided into two parts or next to a multitude of myself, the quantity of everything it contains is infinitely more exposed.
In this condition, I find myself, as a person, unified with what I have around me. A paradox whereby, to know oneself as one, one must consider oneself as a multitude. Practice moves me like an elastic band, oscillating between what I recognize, but I am not, and what I do not know, but which concerns me.
Imagining that I am opening up a situation or a person, I focus my attention on the complexity that manifests itself in its folding, subdivision, repetition, or disappearance.
