Universes (2021) performative installation / wood, metal, plaster, textile, synthetic hair, silicone, thermoplastic, reflective paint / 45 x 45 x 45 cm

About / A performatively activated sequence of nested realties are presented to the viewer. The elements that progressively appear keep staging a small journey about big perspective shifts. A dome shows a form of a universe seen from outside, a half emerging head under the dome has a creature inside - and on its concave eyes we find a reproduction on the dome, now showing the same form of a universe but inwards.
