This performance project revolves around metamorphosis, mutation, power, identity, and relation, activating these themes through the invisible force of natural magnetism. I wear a magnetized suit and mask. Around me lies a field of waste: cutlery, broken toys, refrigerator magnets, colored metal balls, nails, bolts, cans, and magnetized plastic objects. Painted entirely in gold and carefully arranged on the floor, these fragments of debris resemble the pictograms of a hieroglyphic language made of junk.

​

The performance stages an epic tension between reason and chaos, between the golden mask and the refuse, between the illusion of eternity promised by power and the slow corrosion of history that ultimately consumes every human enterprise.

​

In the final part of the action, the audience is invited to break the magic circle. Spectators enter the dump and attach the remaining objects to my body, guided by irony, instinct, and their own sense of form. What begins as a solitary struggle opens itself to collective intervention, contamination, and play.

The waste also finds its echo in the soundscape of the performance. A set of lights attached to my wrists interacts with light-sensitive software, transforming my movements into sound and visual events in real time.
