Brigata Es - Forever

Through works, one attains immortality.
The aesthetic object is a process of hibernation, a freezing of life.
Artists are interested in saving themselves.

The scene simulates the secret desire for permanence, but as a work, it is the concrete realization of that desire.
The mechanism of eternal survival is spectacularly visualized at the very moment it is activated.
Technological tools launch electronic traces of an uncertain existence.
The individual/Body Artist in their physicality has disappeared—they are no longer immediate but mediated.
