Can I have another question?
performance/installation Milan, New York, Los Angeles 2011
The pathos and power of the artist’s performance cannot be described in words.
Ciriaca+Erre on the centre of a stage littered with hundreds of chocolate coins, collects and melts the contents into a mould to produce a chocolate sculpture in the shape of an infant’s face.
Like a modern Medea, she caresses and eats the baby’s face. The artist’s destructive fury and despair symbolize an act of self-cannibalism that we all perform when we keep silent or hide in the innermost areas of ourselves, our real needs and questions raised, which we do not want to answer.
