Performance, 2025

From the mineral world to blood: Consciousness as a process of etherization

The performance, held on May 10, 2025, at Nellimya Arthouse, Switzerland, was inspired by Rosicrucian and Steinerian studies (Rudolf Steiner’s Anthroposophy) and explored the journey of consciousness through matter: from the mineral world to the blood and finally to inner light.

Human beings are carried within all the kingdoms of the Earth. In the physical body, in bone tissue, the memory of stone still vibrates; but in blood – “a very special juice,” as Goethe called it – begins the alchemy of the living: the process through which matter can transcend the laws of Nature, when man learns to embody his own Tree of Life.

In the blood dwells the I, and with it the seed of transformation: through the etheric body – that subtle system of formative forces that sustains and shapes the living – the doors of a renewed consciousness open. Not the immortality of the physical body, but the continuity of consciousness through the thresholds of death and rebirth, toward the formation of an imperishable vehicle: the body of light, the resurrection body. This is the reconciliation between Earth and Spirit, between incarnation and destiny.

The performance is both rite and blessing: an invitation to consciously participate in the process of etherization in which we are all involved — with our bones, our blood, and the awakening of the I.

Three pictorial works emerge from the performance:

FIAT_blooming is an installation composed of seven paintings torn during a creative and participatory process.
The audience, actively involved in the action, became the owner of the torn portion of the original artwork — signed and dated — thus preserving an energetic and symbolic fragment of the experience.

TRAIT_d’union represents the point of connection between performative gesture and painting, between shared experience and transformed matter.
Two Japanese tatami mats covered with cotton canvas, painted in the studio and used as action surfaces during the performance FIAT_trait d’union, complete the work. Today, they offer themselves as spaces for meditation and inner presence.

The triptych “Goldy is my name” proclaims the birth of a transmuted identity.
Gold is no longer a precious material, but an alchemy — a spiritual vibration emerging from beneath the pictorial surface: the declaration of the Self recognising itself as light, freeing itself from the weight of matter to radiate consciousness.
