The project explores the social interaction of my body connected by cotton ropes to the people that surround me. The public’s perception of the object changes, the cotton ropes becoming both connective and limitative. At the same time, my body’s projective image changes, from a human body to a live sculpture or installation. The audience is welcome to connect my hair and any part of my body to anywhere that they wish to connect it, using the cotton ropes. After the connections are all made, I stay still for a few hours. Then I disconnect the cotton ropes by using scissors, and I leave them on site as the audience has put them. Many sculptural patterns can emerge, because it is live, so unpredictable. Different people from different places have different motivations and ways to connect the ropes in a specific manner and place. We all communicate and see the world

Formerly trained in economics, he now creates works that range from text and images - like poetry, literature, theatre, video, film and visual arts - to ephemeral art like performance.
