Tabula Rasa, interactive performance / installation | 2010

Tabula rasa is a work of art made up of an object-box-table divided into many sectors with the author’s body lying underneath them. There is a marker in each sector and the visitors may use it to draw, scribble, write on the separate parts of the body. Thus, each movement of the spectator/participant is a kind of dissection, objectification, categorization, description and research that directly affects the author, both physically and emotionally. The “vitality” of his body that responds, hurts, laughs, poses the question of the direct effect of the study of the “otherness” and of how its objectification can be seen as a form of violence.
