In The Name
2016, exhibition project
The exhibition project brings performance and installation together. A semi-naked young man kneels against the wall motionless. The viewer does not see his face; he remains anonymous. It is not clear whether he is praying or whether it is an act of punishment. A picture of the performance was taken and is used as a separate piece of art. The installation contains wood-en pedestals with seeping candles, similar to those used during the First Communion. The candles adapt and deform in line with the norms dictated by the pedestals as symbols of the power of the Church.
