TIME FOR REVOLUTION
TIME FOR REVOLUTION
TIME FOR REVOLUTION
As a spectator who can’t take any more of the news—each story worse than the next,
As an activist tired of seeing that nothing can be resolved by talking to institutions,
As a human being fed up with sterile communications that bring no action for those affected,
As a social being who, despite herself, belongs to capitalist society, feeling powerless, as if her voice— even when shouting at demonstrations— is never heard...
It’s as if the body must become the battleground for my struggles, because a body—dead or alive—seems to say more than voices or words that sink into oblivion.
With my own body, I want to shout my indignation at a humanity that learns nothing from its past mistakes. We are stuck in a perpetual cycle, as our old friend Plato might say, and it’s time to break this circle.
I’ve been waiting for the Messiah, but now that they’re clearly not coming, it’s up to us to come together and fight for an end to the desperate agony of a humanism that no longer resonates beyond borders.
If the words and images shared across all our fabulous social networks don’t make the elites—who clearly have the power to resolve poverty, social, and medical injustices—react, then let’s take up arms, WE ARTISTS, and burn all these arid, endless talks.
Without artists to tell the story, the world will remain a barren wasteland, where only aimless, detached capitalism will grow, serving merely to exchange a currency that doesn't actually exist if we stop using it.
The only real currency that exists is our exchange—from being to being, from idea to idea, from image to image.
That’s what history will remember.
!! Happy burning year of 2025 !!

Silice AmorphE is an installation performance, using dance, video, sculpture and sound exploring the ever-changing state of materials.
As molecules in motion, two bodies dance through changing states of matter. Via the medium of glass, like an enchanting mirror, reflections blur the lines between what's seen and unseen.
Based on prayers written on the altar and left there as an offering to the Mirror-Hand, protective goddess of individuality, two bodies meet.
Exploring the quest for identity in a timeless world, two bodies come together and seek to adapt to a new being in the world. The song of a mermaid beckons, guiding them into this new world.
Between a voyage of initiation to a new land and into themselves, the bodies test themselves, look at each other and come together. Through the eyes of the other, an attempt to understand each other takes shape, and individualities become stronger together, in a shared sense of listening.
