This work is composed by a quadruple projection of black and white analogue negatives that unite images and text. Each projection shows a part of the artist’s naked body (head, thorax, genitals and legs) rotating on a vertical axis, like a corkscrew. Alternately and successively a series of words appear superimposed on the body parts, they make reference to physical and psychological symptoms that refer to states of emotional ambivalence or an ambiguity of perception. The fragmentation and systematic cadence of the piece’s referential —the image of the body and its physical language—along with its subjective association, or the impossibility of capturing them entirely, keeps us from carrying out a linear and closed interpretation.
