Miguel Bonneville #2
performance
in miguel bonneville #2, bonneville grappled with the existential challenge of reconstructing one’s identity — the delicate balance between maintaining one’s essence while embracing transformation. prompted by the aftermath of love’s demise and the dissolution of a relationship, this performance delved into the existential quandary that follows a breakup: the dissonance of no longer being the person one was during love, yet not reverting to the former self either. it represents a phase marked by stagnation and emptiness, characterized by a sense of waiting and solitude. the process of self-reinvention unfolds gradually, requiring time to take root and evolve.
