Spaghetti (stand-alone system)
In Spaghetti, the viewer is confronted with a machine that compresses a strand of spaghetti with precision until it inevitably breaks. By watching this process, the viewer feels as though their own psychological and bodily tension is being transferred to the machine, experiencing the sensation of the body being subjected to pressure. Through this machine performance, the artist explores themes of technology, the body, and humanity’s relationship with machines in an increasingly automated world.
