Food war takes part of "Self-taught psychomagic", a series of 9 ritual actions that I made against my house so that it would expel me. I used psychomagic as a healing, cathartic tool, a lack of respect and misuse of my own context. I documented each of the actions with a camera, a tripod and a self-timer. From each psychomagic act, there is a larger number of pictures than the ones shown here. 3rd Itaú Cultural Visual Arts Award 2014-2015. Source: Itaú Cultural Visual Arts Award 2014-2015 catalogue.
