HAUT

video art | 10 min.

Haut - German term for "skin" - is a microcosm trapped in a doll box that cycles on and on, like a cuckoo clock. A red box that dances in an endless cycle, in which the beginning overlaps the end and each gesture repeats endlessly, shaping a system in perpetual motion, where time is annulled and cyclicity becomes law.

Haut opens a glimpse into an existential and multidimensional interpretation of reality, within the subtle dynamics of space and time.

The artist explores everyday life through five characters trapped in a systematic and repetitive cycle, whose presence is part of an illusory web that reveals itself only through spatio temporal simultaneities. This simultaneity evolves the interconnectedness between the characters, triggering a transformation that overturns the stability of the system itself.

Inspired primarily by Tango, the video animation by Zbigniew Rybczyński (1981), the artist brings to life a “real” version of that animated world, confronting the space-time limits and the chaos that ensues.

Haut is a visual and sensory experience that pushes beyond the concept of skin as a physical boundary and identity.

It invites us to explore a reality in which individual boundaries dissolve, showing how each element is part of a larger, deeply connected network. A perpetual flux that challenges the very idea of separation, weakening the boundaries between conscious and subconscious, individual body and collective body, mistakes and possibilities, boredom and attention, reality and fiction, in a continuous play between the temporary and the eternal.

AH!

sculpture

Media: ceramic, wax, copper tubes

Size: 40 x 50 x 10 cm

The sculpture called "AH!" is a work that navigates the oxymoronic relationship between pleasure and suffering. Although these two concepts are closely dichotomous, they are linked by a nexus of coexistence and interdependence. This relationship is primarily shown through the choice of the title.

The wax enhances the sensory value of the message, highlighting its performative significance.
