About the performance

The depiction of the female body in art and the attributes assigned to it by society like passivity, beauty, devotion and sexuality are viewed in the context of an experiment on a living organism. Two performers become luxurious objects in the gallery collection: faceless and devoid of individuality, they share a common stigma. The only thing that is alive is their hidden abundance of their bodies.
