Autorretrato: ato performativo 06

"Autorretrato: ato performativo" is a series that proposes not a projection of a “self”, but what Bataille calls “formless”, a notion that makes it possible to reflect on processes of transformation, which constitute a permanent conflict. It can’t be resolved in a synthesis, being unfinished.
