Giorgia de Santi with Sabrina Bellenzier
PLEASE pay in-attention PLEASE
My performance practice begins with the need to display and work with the complexity of (my/your) different bodies and identities. I see myself in the interstices of gender definitions, in the liminal spots left behind from categorization. I'm particularly interested in the permanent status of (gender) transition, considered as essential as the act of becoming something or someone else. I try to work with combinations of non-binary possibility with humbleness and tenderness.- Giorgia de Santi
