Carrot Finger
I don’ t care much for carrots. Carrots are on my palm.
It will be interdisciplinary work incorporating performance, video, and food, exploring the body’s state when discomfort or pain is consciously or unconsciously used as a stimulant. It reflects a situation where the boundary between self-discipline and self-destruction becomes blurred, questioning how individuals transform repetitive pain in daily life into a ritual of existence. It wanders through the voluntary and the involuntary pain, embracing the creative boredness, self-destruction and the Dionysian spirit. It unfolds as an exploration of the invisible cycle between losing control and rebuilding, ultimately indicates the temporality of the mortal body is the way of being in the world.
The piece includes carrots and imagery of blood.
