LAVATORY [LAVATORIO], registry of the performance “Cuánto vacío puede llenar un mueble” (How much emptiness can a piece of furniture fill)

LAVATORY is an object that registers the performance ¿Cuánto vacío puede llenar un mueble? (How much emptiness can a piece of furniture fill?). In that action, I adapt the shape of home furniture as a workout routine. The piece that I present is part of a group of five moments that I attempt to transfer to the objects, in order to evoke the performance that originated them. The poses-furniture that I materialize are a lavatory, chair, table, screen, and bed, in allusion to a long domestic day. In this work, I alternate flections with moments of relative still, where I hold my body in an anxious state of restrained tension. The restlessness is not sportive, but a strategy to overcome the incapacity of doing, without feeling disoriented about it and thinking of how identity relates to what I do, if perhaps I am a product of what I do, and who am I when I can’t do it. Therefore, I change my human nature and my dysfunctional feeling to the furniture. And without doing, still, I keep doing, pretending, giving life to a living thing with a specific function.
