2023 RE-CONNECT 《Contradiction and Tension: Sebastian Mahaluf’s Performance Art Experience》

“The way I approach the world is by measuring the space around me. Performance can vividly showcase all the possibilities in this process. Every time a work is completed, many unforeseeable things happen. When the elastic rope constantly tightens the connection between participants, it largely restores our situation in the world, not only reflecting our social style, but also triggering us to think about our relationship with space.”
The connection between people and external things is like the relationship between performers and elastic ropes. In fact, each of us is this connection point, this intersection point. At the beginning of life, there is no self-awareness. Since the emergence of self-awareness, this consciousness has separated the connection between the intersection of the self and others, and the self and others are split into opposing entities. So trapped in oneself, feeling lonely.

In fact, we often overlook that everything is the intersection of interconnected networks, where we are closely connected, interconnected, and integrated. We were originally “interconnected” and “closely related”. I hope everyone can re-examine our connections and realize that we are one and all things are one by participating in this event.
