AMPLEXUM PROJECT
Can we touch each other like we always did before? What are the new borders of our body? I have written the word ‘AMPLEXUM’ 4795 times. ‘Amplexum’ means ‘Embrace’ in Latin. The idea of repeating one single word is the internal compulsory action which I use to overcome the anxiety of lacking the essential human needs and desires. I am seeking my own answers to the fear of new norms of reality. The norms that keep changing dramatically due to COVID-19 pandemia, establishing new boundaries of people's body, mind and soul. The artistic approach is to write one word every day using a large piece of paper with a giant brush. This daily practice result will be shown at Czasoprzestrzeń, The Center for Young Culture and Local Initiatives located in an old tram depot in the East of Wroclaw, Poland. Final project: 6 — 8th August, Czasoprzestrzeń, Wrocław, ul. Tramwajowa 1-3.
