El debate sobre la utilidad del arte es prolijo. Pero hay algo claro: el arte no es sólo un objeto decorativo ni un activo especulativo. Debe haber algo más: alma, emoción, conexión, mensaje, debate, pensamiento, todo lo que el ser humano sea capaz de sentir.
En esta serie, los formatos clásicos y los objetos icónicos sirven de excusa para confrontar el cuerpo humano con la tradición y reivindicar la performance como el arte que realmente es. No una copia, no una mercancía, no una representación: sólo la esencia del ser humano.
La performance es vivir, sentir, existir en tiempo real. Se resiste a la categorización, a la especulación y a ser reducida a un objeto. Aquí, el cuerpo es a la vez medio y mensaje, reclamando su lugar en el corazón del arte.

he debate over the usefulness of art is endless. Yet one thing is clear: art is not merely a decorative object or a speculative asset. There must be something more—soul, emotion, connection, message, debate, thought—everything a human being is capable of feeling.
In this series, classical formats and iconic objects serve as an excuse to confront the human body with tradition and assert performance as the art it truly is. Not a copy, not a commodity, not a representation—just the essence of the human being.
Performance is living, feeling, existing in real time. It resists categorization, speculation, and being reduced to an object. Here, the body is both medium and message, claiming its place at the heart of art.
