This performance uses Facebook Social Media as a platform to question our freedom in the Internet realm. Actions and words are referred to existing people’s confessions founded on Internet, where the absurdity of deep depression and suicidal intents are associated with narcissism and pleasure. The live stream is nowadays something that people use both for important purposes and for no sense activities, but surprisingly those last ones are the most followed.
Within this action I perform in front of a computer camera, interpreting different people’s confessions collected through internet. Switching from one personality to the next, I use my body as a material for a digital decade, where the flash became separated into digital pieces, until the end where I wrap my neck with a rope. The breath became more difficult, while the people following the actions are increasing.
