Long Jump

Long Jump is inspired by the uncertain nature of both our social/political context (in the globalized neoliberal era) and artistic creation. This work is a performative drawing where graphite powder is spread on a piece of paper by running and slipping along it in an elliptic movement. The creative process behind this creation is an oscillation between pairs of opposite concepts, such as intuition-reasoning, personal-universal experience, figurative-abstract, presence-absence, or what is controlled-what is not; exploring the possibilities in between these concepts. Time, body and space are also important ideas in this work, wherein the movement of my own body in a specific place or action determines decisively the final appearance of the work, which is to certain extent out of my control.
