Dark Age
The 8th Floor, New York, USA.
Curated by Anjuli Nanda Diamond and George Bolster

Dark Age continues to develop a series of works in which I collaborate with my family. In this case, with my brother, establishing an archetypal dynamic between us to address issues that transcend the familial.
This performance is deeply connected to the historical moment and to the global transition toward a new era that we are experiencing on Earth. It reflects an intensified perception of the struggle between opposing forces inherent to human nature that, when confronted with reality, reveal our individual and collective level of consciousness, and make us question what path we are choosing as humanity and how much suffering we are willing to endure to prevent the collapse of an inhumane system that feeds solely on violence, terror, and authoritarianism.
My brother and I take turns dismantling and rebuilding the word FASCISM. While one of us disperses the letters in different ways and in different positions throughout the space, the other brings them back to the center and reconstructs the sculpture. In this way, we generate a continuous tension between dispersion and centralization.
