Innocence #03“In 2006, my life was a desert. Everybody seemed busy, active, alive, while I was a prisoner in my own apartment. Nothing was happening in my life, and I felt I was a thing among others in my home. One day I received from a friend a pack of clay. I started to roll small pearls of porcelain from the clay for no reason. They were cute. To escape from my lethargy, every night I rolled pearls made of porcelain, like Penelope weaving her tapestry while waiting for Ulysses, except that in my story there was no Ulysses. All the pearls together became a very long necklace of a few metres; very beautiful, very difficult to move, very heavy.”This was some years ago. Everything has changed since then: the others and I. This time the necklace weights 50 kilogrammes to embody my 50 years of life. It was a spontaneous idea that I had, which I expressed the idea with joy; 50 is a number so easily said but 50 kilogrammes of porcelain can be tedious and laborious.Picture by Anita Vozza

Amputation, 2006 To heal you need to amputateCut yourself off from The gangrene that is eating you upGangrene is a person a thing a love a parasiteHealing is about violence“My intention is to perform in or near the exhibition space - the life at the Singapore Art Museum - and interact with the installation. It is about exploring the space, material and concept all in the spirit of improvisation.In my performances, I aim to reduce and minimize time and material through a very simple visual act, as well as attempt to reach the essence of the concept. This simple visual act in this performance would be the act of “falling down” where the fall is a symbol of failure”

The Venus in Furs, 2006Video Performance“It was a large oil painting, done in the robust full-bodied manner of the Belgian school. Its subject was strange enough. A beautiful woman with a radiant smile upon a face, with abundant hair tied into a classical knot, on which white powder lay like soft hoarfrost, was resting on an ottoman, supported on her left arm. She was nude under her dark furs. Her right hand played with a lash, while her bare foot rested carelessly on a man lying before her like a slave, like a dog”Venus in Furs, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (page 59, Blast Books, New York)

Between the Hair and the Stone, 2000Digital photographyThe hair and especially pubic hair is the last territory of the modesty. The hair betrays us. We can shave it, pluck it, it will always come back, revealing our instincts, reminding the primates in us.”Andrée Weschler

The Hairy Virgin, 2013The Hairy Virgin is a true story of a girl whose entire body was covered with hair. She was introduced to the King Charles the 4th, Emperor and King.In his book “Histoires Prodigieuses”, Pierre Boaistuau explains that during her pregnancy, the mother of the Hairy Virgin had seen a statue of Saint John that was covered with animal fur. With the power of her imagination, the mother “transferred” the hair onto the body of her forthcoming baby. The maternal imagination has the power to shape the progeny, it is called the “monstrous imagination”.“A hairy virgin was shown completely covered with hair like a bear; she was born thus deformed and hideous because her mother had gazed too intensely upon an effigy of St John dressed in animal skins which hung at the foot of her bed when she conceived.It is certain that these monstrous creatures most often are the consequence of divine judgment, justice, punishment, and curse; horrified by their sin, God allows [women] to produce such abominations because they hurl themselves forward indifferently, like savage beasts that only follow their appetites, with no consideration of age, place, time, and the other laws established by Nature”Pierre Boaistuau, Histoires prodigieuses, 1560

Black #01, 2010 “ The image of the performance in my head is like a plant. I can see it every day. Every day I think about it, I see it, I look at it, I treasure it and I nurture it like I water a plant daily to maintain it alive.” Giving a title to an artwork is a mysterious thing. I have experienced showing an artwork and changing each time the title as if the artwork was another one. Another time, on the contrary, I had a title that I was obsessed with and could not find the appropriate work for it; therefore I did a series of different work with the same title.

Wok, 2011Wok contains love seeds (saga seeds). During the process of covering patiently the wok with red thread, love seeds were rolling and making nice sound.Wok is a group exhibition project organised and held at Your Mother Gallery, Singapore. “The idea of using a signboard is to remind us about our mother or family using this utensil to make food for us everyday. The wok is a very special and unique tool that we use everyday and especially in Asia. There's a saying “What we eat is what we are”. And this is part of our Asian culture.”
