The canvas is my root, my first approach to art, colors and lights. Now I try to break through the white, empty canvas, a metaphor for breaking through into the world of art. Will I be successful enough or is it just a desire for self-destruction? The soundtrack advances with an indefinite rhythm, symbol of the artist's uncertain path. The word artist repeats itself from the beginning of the video and presses more and more on the ending. This word destabilizes me, am I worthy of being called an artist? Will I ever be? I want to be called an artist. But what is art at the bottom. Art is being an artist.
This performance shows the artist's intimate struggles, insecurities and fears. This performance invites us to empathize with the artist and to recognize the contradictions of the art system.
The soundtrack is composed of a base made with the synth and 33 voices of famous people taken from viral videos.
