Artistic performance

Shown in Frankfurt, Stockholm, Bordeaux... This ambulatory proposal stages a hybrid character located halfway between the imaginary and the material world. A mini itinerant banquet in the form of a strange creature, this chimera is at the edge between the invisible, inner world and the visible one, of a very tangible mythology. It puts us in front of our deep contradictions, our fears, our values and our vices. A sort of trivial still life incarnated in this world and which gives its flesh in a will of stripping. The offerings distributed to passers-by embody the relationship to the other and the gift of self. By giving the sweets, located around her face, the seat of thought in the West, she also entrusts a part of the mask built by cultural and mental conditioning. This proposal addresses the issue of excessive consumption, and the spiral in which we all make a mental character in front of the other, like an automatism.
