We are living in subjective terms due to pandemia. Staying home became an existencial condition. We subtract ourselves from the urban environment inside the city. We subtract ourselves from our physical existence.

As a membrane that isolates matter, our perception of time within private spaces is altered, blurred. We avoid the touch as a way to preserve life. To extend time.

DISAPPEARING ACT series takes form from domestic actions, I manipulate perishable elements that would cease to exist anyway. My perception of ephemerality is latent even on banal relations. This sense of touch impediment, of a physical barrier that makes everything less palpable and unclear to the sight grasp my eye.
