ANNEX

video, 05:47, 2020

Annex is, by definition, something incorporated, a complement on which the conclusion of a reasoning depends. Connected to another; together; incorporated; dependent and accessory – adjectives that manage to describe the word annex and also the function/position of an artist as an active element in society. This video dance concludes a manifest to art in this moment of metamorphosis. A body works in a space. Yet when this body joins other bodies in the same space, its function is transferred to the group.
