An Essay on Ephemeral Experientialism (2018) is a singular journey, in the form of an autobiographical essay - the primordial zone. Under the experimental form of a body, it contains a personal manifesto in the feminine in favor of reports, marks, and silences of a moldable body, as a support that results in an image yard. The extension of the body that extends longitudinally to the ground, in a vulnerable relationship of the body in space, to architecture, and to the object - without segregating - emphasizes silence, the disturbed place, the passage of the body through danger, the agonized state , the animal gesture, the fall path, the first desires, the human presence, the shock and the loneliness, the time and the memory, the innocent impulse, the insignificant, the poetry of the experiences, the fear of the images, the one and the double, the useless, the extreme lack, the state of isolation, the animal-walk, the order of the erotic and the affective, the complexity and the detail, the loss of the body's adherence to the surface, the living of various bodies, the adoption from trauma and fear, under discontinuous, incomplete acts, intimate, peripheral, incoherent or fragmented energy flows. Through the force of the valences between opposites or the pulsating electricity, on the extensible object that rotates in a pulsating way at the end of the skin, the weight of that body, in the center, is swallowed by the void and expels an abject poetic and visual sensitivity - the object that circulates between life and death and that assumes a total consciousness. This is a one-to-one visceral correspondence.
     This awareness of being several bodies, of the siege, of fertility, of libido, of submission, of freedom, of place, of the spiritual. And meat. It is elastic, invented space, without redefinition. Space distorted by time. It is an inhabited meditative body. Or eternal return far from ending.
     The colossally black body, an animal device, is guided by a constant and external reference of matter and it is, therefore, the confrontation of the body with its personal experiments caused by what surrounds it. The installation's language affirms fugacity and transitory, in a tone of disconcerting language. The density of the female body in mutation with the organic state.
       The occurrence of two times that coincide simultaneously. Alchemical space and virtual space. A space that the artist creates and that belongs to her. The body erases the extremes, occupies the weight and the gesture in a continuity mapped in the abyss, and woven by immanent improvisation. They are gestures that extend beyond themselves and that result in the flow or saturation of the body's terrain to the zero point. Natural time has decreased. Everything fails. It is a primary act or an extension of life.
In the form of a body part, video-performance and photography.
