Cage
1986
Room corner, black paint, live figure (print of documentation)
Using black paint and the existing architecture of a room corner, I constructed an imaginary, geometric, pyramid-shaped cage to imprison my lived body—flesh and mind. This early work investigates how the minimal necessary—an abstract visual cue—can generate a sense of confinement. It explores the power of intangible signs to convey ideological messages and cultural norms, highlighting tensions between rigid structures and embodied experience, the artificial and the human body.
