She will attempt to enter into a dialog with herself as a performer of an older work of hers:
BAGS (2010), in which her mute, motionless and faceless body, completely covered in sack cloth, serves as a projection screen for bystanders.
During the three weeks in Lavanderia, she wants to work with interventions and the exchange of written and recorded testimonies.
