The performance “Suspensions” takes place inside a boat in an old shed, which hosts the artist during his “spiritual journey”. He, through repeated and measured movements, tries to understand himself and the atmosphere that surrounds him, in a space-time suspension, among the boats at rest. As in a meditative ritual, the performer explores the space around him with his body and, as the action unfolds, conceptually crosses the path of life: from birth to death.
