(de)forma

Overview

Different ages, situations and languages converge seemingly at random on the same mat: one person practices prenatal exercises, another takes contortion lessons, and another prays with disciplined devotion. Gradually, through drawings, glances, flowers and somersaults, gestures and connections begin to emerge, hinting at a bond between them. Around the mat, a slow process of bodily self-deformation unfolds, where destruction and creation become indistinguishable, and care and pain intertwine.
