CONSTRUCTION OF SELF
Construction of Self / Video projection / Loop 1’30’’ / 2012
It is a part of the project «Fortifications» / 2010-2012
The Construction of Self video expresses the art of becoming Another, an art of survival. It is an endless rhythmic process of embodied fortification. A lifelong ritual that brings disciplinary time: precision, dedication and order. It is about the linear iteration that attributes the refusal to change and refuses any new start.
The envisioned form that is in the process of becoming a tangible “Built” adopts an identity imposed by the social conditions. It expresses the systematic dressage, the creation of this Other like a machine under construction.
