2022, 9 minutes performance, video + sound

An afternoon merienda in the spring time, Argentina shapes the sharing of ideas over laughters and tensions.
A clementine, a community in the making
A rock, the unknown
The combination is movement, is change

The video performance embodies my encounter with the social and natural landscape where I try to find a place. It recounts my experience as a foreigner going back to the homeland with a desire to belong, once again. Pacing the eating and caressing my face with the fruit to cohabit despite the frictions.
Altough I am at the intersections of comfort and confusion, I nevertheless keep on searching for some ease throughout a nurturing mondain action, which also reveals an unstable dynamic.
A clementine is the self
A rock is trembling
