This work continues my exploration of the body as a cultural field of pressure. I turn to the tradition of Christian allegory, but translate it into the language of the present: here, sins become physical states in which the contemporary body is subjected to the weight of desire, shame, power, and accumulated inner conflict. The form of the screen is essential: it is both a small architectural structure and a domestic object that divides space. The work requires the viewer’s movement. As the viewer walks around the screen, they enter a cycle of images and experience a sequence of states, where one form of tension gradually gives way to another. Here, the sins are enclosed in a circle: they repeat, flow into one another, and form a single system. The characters exist within an aesthetic of kitsch and bodily grotesque, where punishment does not arrive from outside, but seems to grow out of desire itself. In this work, the body becomes a medium through which mechanisms of control, temptation, shame, and power are revealed.
