A man, dark-skinned, is taped to a wall: a living sculpture. Around this piece of art a performance evolve which initiates a play of different interpretations. Every meaning’s addition stimulate and eventually change the perception of the audience. The play of interpretations possibilities is crucial to transform the piece of art into a sort of “mirror” in which our expectations and illusions, hopes and fears, projections and prejudices are reflected. While the performance is running various levels of perception, thinking, sensation, conviction (political or religious) and imaginations overlap creating a puzzle (at times grotesque an surreal, at times tangible, bewildering, empathetic) where the piece of art bears truths, each possible, but none assured.
The work is freely inspired by the following artists: Maurizio Cattelan, Ciprí & Maresco and Roger Ballen.
