"eux.lui.elle.nous”
The Fleeting Nature of the Self, the Other, and the Us
“eux.lui.elle.nous” is an exploration of temporality and the duality of presence/absence. Using the world's thinnest paper, Hidakawashi Tengusho, weighing just 2 grams per square meter, this piece proposes a delicate interplay between light, texture, and movement. It consists of four panels: the first one is empty, the second shows a woman alone on a bed, the third a man alone on a bed, and the last shows them together. When they are alone, half of the frame is empty, highlighting absence within presence. 1 reply

In the final act, the panels are set aflame, consuming the delicate figures. The act of burning not only destroys their physical representation but also underscores impermanence, reminding us of the ephemeral quality of all things, symbolizing the briefness of our intertwined lives and capturing the essence of mortality in our connections.
All these stages were intended to embody the themes of impermanence and spontaneity and to embrace randomness and unpredictability, core aspects of an improvisational performative practice. Based on a "single shot" approach, with no preliminary tests and a single video recording, the project faced numerous technical challenges, as it was intended to be realized in a single move process, and unique in the final result, without editions or artist's copies. 2 replies
