Identity Crisis

Identity Crisis is an ongoing multi-layered project of an evolving sculptural installation that investigates the fluidity of “identity” through artistic disciplines but also its substance in the public domain. Originating in 2023, the project features seven metal sculptures crafted from steel and brass. These works function as both sculptural forms and theatrical props, situated within a fabricated stage environment. The installation is conceived as a symbolic theatre with a continuous, site-responsive play in which each iteration creates a new scene, a new myth, and a new moment of confrontation with “identity”. Each version of Identity Crisis will be presented in a different location, adapting the scenography and dramaturgy to the local space. In this sense, the installation becomes a living performance where each sculptural element, an actor, each location, a new act. The “stage” is used as the space where my research focus on how to create a human experience out of sculptures, aiming to create a comedy where “identity” is satirized on stereotypic classical models.
