Post it Move it Medit it
Durational performance (3 x 6 hours) with Post-it notes and a shop window.
Being in a process. A deployment of geometric, organic, and abstract forms, which, through touches, slowly cover a shop window until a blank surface is created, a blank space of thought, free from emergencies. And then, multiple breaches reopen, filtering light, darkness, and fragmented presences, creating a grid of reinterpretation and a shift in perception.
Or how to test duration and open a breakthrough into a void and its full potential.
I. Creation of a fractal with square white Post-it notes, whose pattern recalls traditional pixelated embroidery.
II. Filling the void left by the fractal pattern until the surface is covered.
III. Folding the Post-it notes following a simple rule; the light's breakthrough creates a vibration in the plane.
