مهسا بیگلو-I was once Sisyphus
next, nature...
In collaboration with the multimedia art moniker Hot Hands, this durational performance took place over four hours as part of a two-day experimental performance event titled Next, Nature.
During the piece, I projected live nature footage onto a piece of fabric hanging on the wall and slowly tore small holes into it with my bare fingers. This act became a quiet yet persistent gesture—a way of marking my human presence and impact on nature’s body, even without using any “tools.” The performance explored the tension between touch and destruction, tenderness and harm, and the impossibility of separating ourselves from the ecosystems we affect.
