Miguel Bonneville #8

performance

in miguel bonneville #8, performed predominantly in darkness, themes of perpetual surveillance and control take center stage: disappearance appears attainable only through death.
amidst the demands and consequences of capitalism, the aspiration to pause, to engage in introspection, to reconnect with nature seems a utopian fantasy. mb#8 delved into the contemplation of disappearance and the power of imagination in confronting such insurmountable obstacles.
