'Spiders' (2014) where the imprisoned body breaks out of the institutional architecture of confinement through cracks in the concrete, and reaches for the other, in a last attempt to safeguard his humanity. This work reminds us immediately of the film 'Un Chant d'Amour' (1950) by the novelist Jean Genet, in which a male prisoner and his prison warden enact sexual fantasies through holes in the cell gate, blurring the inside and the outside, and reconfigure temporarily their selves. As the only means and medium, the body is elevated to the condition of sensory and sensual, turning metaphysics on its head: The soul is not imprisoned in the body, but liberated outwards only and exclusively through the body.
