Icarus is a performance that explores the themes of desire, limitation and failure. Like a child filled with curiosity, the author strips naked and begins to confront desire in a primitive way. Through his play, the artist pushes back his limits, burning his own body in a movement that oscillates between pleasure and endurance for an impossible attempt to fly.
Through the interplay of light and darkness, rise and fall, the video underscores that desire inevitably involves awareness of its intensity, ephemeral nature, and potential pitfalls. In a precarious balance that echoes the myth of Icarus, the artist embodies the eternal struggle between aspiration and reality.
