ATMA_0.7

This performance comes from the collection and analysis of several records accumulated over the last 7 years, which allowed me to better understand the specificities and limitations of my body. From there, I decided to connect it to a machine and listen to it. To listen to its failure and its struggle.

The movement captured here by the spectator focuses on that invisible dance that happens inside our body when we have access to this inner physical body, which has a variable pulsation and voluntariness. With the body connected to a machine, I let the captured electrical stimuli translate this internal movement into a colossus that occupies the entire physical space. A journey from the micro to the macro-scale, which translates into a pulsation, an echo, a roar, and a voice previously impossible to hear.
