The piece explores the relationship between man and machine, with the awareness that nothing is created in nature and nothing is destroyed, but everything is transformed. In the piece, bodies become machines. They travel daily on the highways, getting dressed, washing, burning fat, dissipating Energy and being unable to give up “excess”.
Machines influence us and compete with us. When we consume them, they replace our bodies and mental organs, modelling against our freedom as human beings the very essence of our personality.
