Statement

Each time that I exhale, the balloon expands, but my body gradually disappears behind it as a result. The video's moving images remind me of the passage of time. How many breaths can the balloon contain until I stop breathing entirely?

The use of my own bodily struggle to illustrate the blowing /breathing effort, that seems to proceed in such a blur, echoes my constant mediation with life and with art practice full of confusion and solitude. While the world keeps moving along with torrential flows of information and catalysts, I become paralysed.

The video medium helps to capture the authentic sensations of the performance, at the same time provides me with a frame to compose my oeuvre of images.
