Tortura Natura

The exhibition project is an elaborate sculptural presentation evolving into a spatial environment. It can be perceived as a scenographic concept communicating the paradox of static performance without performers. It arises from the use of BDSM practices, which naturally intertwine with materials such as wood, stone, and leather, replacing living participants in the performative principle of BDSM. It’s as if the products of nature have appropriated these individual tools, as they often serve as their basic construction systems. The question is: to what extent voluntarily? This author’s line, resulting from his recent creative process, shifts his discourse on natural creation into questions of the naturalness of human behavior and creation, or rather the human necessity to contemplate natural or even instinctual creation. In his understanding, humans approach nature with almost fetishistic interest, often drastically transforming it according to their own scenario.
