patching nails

This project invites participants to explore the body as artistic material through the act of sewing, focusing on the tactile experience of patching nails. This interactive performance explores the tension between the physicality of nails and the relaxation that sewing can evoke, revealing social and political questions about body image and gender roles, particularly the cultural significance of painting nails. Recorded in black and white, the video contrasts with the colorful gloves left behind, creating a visual timeline that connects the installation and the performance. The absence of dialogue emphasizes the sensory and rhythmic aspects of the space, offering participants a safe environment for reflection and interaction. This playful and thought-provoking installation opens up new perspectives on the body and its relation to art, social dynamics, and collective experience.
