3D video created during the Bonfire artist residency with the theme I’m NOBODY. The video installation required the creation of a wooden box with the red and blue color filters necessary for the stereoscopic viewing of the video. The intention was to explore the boundaries between the inner and the outer. The dissolution of the limits through the confrontation with the unyielding figure a mountain and the action of breathing through it, to overcome its density, dissolving limits and seizing for a fluid state.

"There, on a summit more pointed than the finest needle, he who fills all space resides unto himself. On high in the most rarefied air where all freezes into stone, the supreme and immutable crystal alone subsists. Up there, exposed to the full fire of the firmament where all is consumed in flame, subsists the perpetual incandescence. There, at the center of all creation, is he who sees each thing accomplished in its beginning and its end”.        

René Daumal, Mount Analogue
