SIZE is a performance during which the artist measures weight and height on a scale. However, it is only an image projected onto a human skeleton. Measurement therefore is always relative and external, linked to time: there are no absolute quantities, although man by quantifying and measuring everything tries to control the objects around him. As in the vanitas vitae themes of Baroque art, reality is quite different from what we see and feel: the Real, as Lacan calls it, is instead "impossible" and always shielded by an imaginary veil. Our bodies, then, are the screen and image that cover and conceal the otherness we ourselves embody.
