PEELING AWAY

In a reality where we increasingly communicate through texts and voice messages rather than meeting in person, what impact does this seclusion have on us? Beyond enabling a faster-paced life and more efficient time management, what else does it bring? How lonely and meaningless can our existence become when one of our fundamental drives - social interaction - is so often reduced to online exchanges?

Exploring the concept of seclusion, Peeling away is an immersive experience that invites introspection and sensory interaction. Inside a glass structure, the artist projects a performative video in which she distorts and moulds her own face against the glass, in a repetitive and visceral act, creating images that oscillate between the comic and the disconcerting. The space, isolated from the outside, intensifies the feeling of confinement and provokes reflection on vulnerability and self-image.

Upon entering the cabin, visitors are invited to peel and eat oranges, leaving the peels on the floor, allowing them to accumulate on the ground and become part of the scenery. This gesture becomes a symbolic ritual of letting go - an invitation to abandon layers, weights or excesses that no longer make sense.

The installation invites the public to reflect on isolation and the paradox between the freedom of the gaze and the confinement of the body, observing a vulnerable body that seeks to relate and transform distortion into an act of resistance.
