14_Body and society
Using the artist's body to create art, therefore, to provoke reactions and to express and expose the artist's vision of the world.
World, society and people.
In this "nameless" performance I intend to question and verbalize in a corporeal way the concept of "dressing".
Why is the body objectified and used as a tool for social status? Why is clothing also used as a social and economic differentiator and classifier?
Like the skin itself on the human body, clothing should serve to protect the body from the cold, the sun, the wind, ... not from the people who also surround it. If they do not look at me when I am dressed as socially permitted, why should they look at me when I wear a garment that fulfills the functions that clothing should fulfill, even if it is formally different?
By tensing and trying to take this concept of clothing to the extreme I intend, more than achieving a social change, to expose the value we attribute to something as banal as fabrics and the impact this has on today's society.
