In failure I begin to speak—

Performance
2025

Performed at “Open Sodas: Weeds” at SODAS 2123 in Vilnius, Lithuania 
Existence is a piece of air that has the property of breathing. When did you first recognize the place of your being? I am amazed at its invisibility, between the banality of life's norms and the urgency of rules. Triggering failure brings one into touch with the shape of the body and the texture of the system. Failure is the only crack I have a trace of when the daily geographic trajectory becomes a restricted loop. For this reason, I destroy safety, destroy obsession, destroy balance—leading to a fall, a break from the systemic loop. When failure occurs, it's a moment where I can finally speak out freely.
