MERGE MYSELF

Performance 18 min, Shown at 4th dimension, London 2012

Music: Sara Ann Kelleher

Chef: Lorenzo Camerini

I believe we have spirits that live inside our organs. They look like us and they contain everything we need to know. I created 5 miniatures of myself in jelly. During a qigong session, containing five qigong exercises that concentrate on cleaning our five organs, I ate these jelly spirits to recapture with inner fountains and deep sources.

At my side I also had Italian chef who prepared delicacies of heart and kidney. This was appreciated by the audience.

For the performance I produced a carpet with the shape of my body, a bodysuit with marks on my organs (which I cut up during the show to show which spirit I was eating). I also made a suit for the dj and the chef.
