MARÍA JEREZ (ES)/ BLOB

13.10., 21pm @ &TD big hall (45′)

Let me introduce you Blob, the ultimate undefined entity that nobody can name. A thing that is everything and nothing, that takes all shapes and yet has no form. Blob is just there, changing, indifferent to the outside. Indifference as a matter, a matter of trust, letting you become what you want, confronting you with your deepest dreams, your darkest fears, your highest desires.

Blob faces an enigma, the mystery of how the meeting of two can create a third, a third thing, a third dimension, something, something that was not there before, and not even meant to be; something that arises from the encounter itself. And while arising, it transforms both: you and Blob… This state of constant transformation proposes a watchful gaze; a gaze that pays attention through the inability to name what it looks at.

Nobody knows what Blob is…

Rage is always against something; reactive and it reinforces the idea of identity and identification… I am much more interested in art that works from disidentification and potentiality; and probably from somewhere darker and more blurry than rage. If I would follow my rage, I would become a criminal.
