Concept
‘How Many Heartbeats in a Footprint’ is a series of 4 durational performances, which uses vast numbers of repetitive movements to create 4 large paintings. Each number attached to each performance has a specific meaning and is connected to fundamental stages of my life, from embryonic phase to present moment.
The construction and development of the paintings happened during and through performance, which required the gradual increase of duration, from 8 to 12, 16, and 24 hours.
