The performance is the shaping of a baby made of soap and then of dipping it into a bowl of water.The focus of the actionis on the rhythm of the performer’s breath which is the most reliable seismograph of the happening, as well as the video screening, shot live by the camera in a pianosequenza. And as the breath is the equivalent of life itself, its most real and deep essence, so the performance takes place in the presence of a 'real' pregnant woman, resulting in the creation of ‘real’ works. The performance closes by packing the baby in a vacuum bag, with the trademark See@flower, as well as the indication of date and location.
The project arises from the ideas of the liquid vanishing life of the unborn children in both sense of abortion and foetus and in a widest perspective every potential being. Those children are not never born,but forever about to be born. It’s only a dimensional mistake. In a biological and evolutive perspective they are fixed in an eternal present. The see water, the submarine environment is the very ancestral PLACENTA:“She” will look forever after them ,preserving them as seeds ,preserving their eternal potenziality.
