During the last weeks/months I've been more explicitly interested in identity and the relationship of identity and our environment, but I see now more clearly that it's a topic that underlines most of my work in the past years. I'm preparing a little text, maybe manifesto, maybe essay, maybe pamphlet, maybe just a bunch of nonsense, around how our individual actions, that sprout from our identity, shape public space, the environment we share with others, and how that environment in turn shapes our identity. And a couple of artworks to go with it. I find very interesting to reflect on this while looking at the cycles / waves of conflict that span the globe. What is actually emerging from individual will and frustration? What is a product of the context, in what measure are we a product of someone else's interest? How conscious are we of that? How does art change this loop? Can it? How does AI play a role, as an actor that mediates not only our experience but our production of space? Just thought about this cleaning my laptop when I came across this image, "above/beneath all & all above/beneath" from the last edition of Cure3 in 2025. A work where I reflected on what it means to be us and what is essential for being us when disease strikes. Sometimes disease is the context, is not within us (in that case it was to raise funds for Parkinson's research, but I believe it generalizes). I wasn't so directly trying to reflect on identity <-> public space, but it was there. Probably also before. Anyway, hope you're all in peace.
