Suspended State - installation|performance in urban space
 

"Suspended State" is an ephemeral installation. More than 1000 ice figures were suspended at different heights in a metal frame. For about an hour, they slowly and dramatically disappear.

The sculptures are anthropomorphic and elongated [female and male] suspended by threads. They are illuminated, accentuating dripping, cracking and breaking ice. They melt in this state of suspension and the sound of melting is amplified by microphones installed in kitchen vessels such as pots, bowls and lids.
 
The installation / performance alludes to a temporary state, a suspension of the body from the floor, a state of being somewhere without actually being there. While melting, they show not only the fragility , the ephemeral  and the vulnerability of bodies in the world, but also a provisional state of passage, of transition, of the in-between., but also a provisional state of transition, of the intermediate.

The temporality of the suspended ice figures, their melting bodies and their expanding sound bodies imply a subjective and collective experience that is temporal and rhythmic; raising questions about the body, existence, subjectivity and, above all, the serious threats to our existence represented by global warming
