Having created an immersive, disturbing and turbulent system that combines video and sound, the project calls into question the mere dichotomy of action and inaction in the absence of an event. Thus, resistance becomes the subject and the object at the same time and provokes changes by posing the question: “To act or to remain passive?” Is the artistic act equal to resistance? Our “new reality” shows us that we do not exist in isolation but constantly interact with the matter that dwells outside the “yes/no” binary system.
