“The body as an enigma,
I explore step by step,
piece by piece, as a space to rebuild, to unify. The fabric came naturally as an analogy of our own biological tissues: bone, fibrous, crystalline …From old sheets, old shirts, embroidered handkerchiefs of textile worn … I cut pieces, assemble them, the model with cotton wool and sew by hand. Thus occurs a reconstruction of the limbs (arms, legs, heads ) and various organs and bones. As mirrored in anatomy are symbolic forms: crystal beads, flowers, animals, dreams, allegories, dreams. Inspiration comes from the ancient arts, primitive votive. between these different worlds , naturalism and symbolism to meet through a common language: the white. Tribute to the union of mind and body.Celebration of life.”

Highly Strung

The performance of Highly Strung featuring the giant 14 meter puppet took place on the night of October 28th 2011 during the Nati Frinj festival. The puppet took ten people to operate and had animation (largely created by the children at the local primary school) projected onto it from projectors mounted both on the ground and in the head of the puppet itself.
