Luciana Llusa

The work is based on an impossible situation: a woman who lives continuously hanged on a wall, defying the laws of gravity and the basic necessities of life. We—the spectators— don’t know if she is imprisoned, physically subdued or defeated by a larger force, or if she is subsumed by the weight of her own consciousness. Inspired by F.Kafka «First Sorrow» (1922), and Luciana Llusa's performance.
