Low Karantzi

 

The desire to increase, to grow, to spread out and challenge boundaries, is the point of departure of this performance.
Penetrating, occupying and appropriating material and immaterial territory which does not seem to correspond to one’s legitimate limits, need not be related to the quantity or quality of the resources at hand; lack of availability should not act as a discouragement.
Displacement is here understood as the amount of space which has been annulled and is unavailable for further utilization; it is the sum both of the negative and the positive space occupied by a volume which does manifest itself as solid.
This celebration of expansionism comes as an opportunity to showcase how intentions can precede and overlook means. The readings of such behaviors remain secondary, uncommented and unjudged.
