2013
Self-release photo performance series in my home studio in Milan.
This is the first photo performance I made after leaving a violent relationship and my house in the beginning of 2013, moving away from my home town and coming back to Milan with a new space for myself to live and work in. I’ve always used my art practice to heal and to process all that I’ve been living in the past year. I cover my eyes in order to connect with my inside, my feelings and my inner world. I recall the flashbacks, the violent actions and the emotions to live them again. With my movement, I repeat gestures that reconnects me to those experiences and the constrictions I felt, not only physically but also mentally. I let arise the sensations that my body needs to feel in order to transform them one day. Whatever impulse emerges, I let it exist again in order to understand it.
