HOMO (2019)

HOMO reveals the intimate experience of a human being inhabiting an inner, private space reserved for solitude. The room, conceived as a metaphor for the primordial home, evokes the image of lost intimacies.

Through an act of introspection, Homo privatus seeks an encounter with the self and an awareness of its own corporeality—that is, an identity defined in relation to the other—through a multisensory experience, and particularly through haptic engagement with the surrounding matter.

HOMO unveils the visible, epidermal layer of the human being. The natural body embodies the memory of a personal history, in contrast to the visual representation of a collective history shaped by stereotyped, iconic, mythologised and idealised bodies.

HOMO is the epiphany of a narcissistic act, a process of metamorphosis.
