Null Object moves on the border between video and performance, between desire for life and acceptance of death. The post human mother denies birth and her womb becomes a sort of retro-sci-fi machinery with a bio-mechanical structure that undoes life, does not create but generates death. Null Object presents the scandal of an intimate and personal reflection from joy to pain, from choice to disappointment. These changes of state are also suggested by the spatial trisection that recalls the classicism of the triptych and are developed through simple symbolic elements: the apple, the nails and the thread. All elements that in the iconographic tradition refer to the meaning of pleasure, curiosity, pain, life and death. The video is a contemporary reinterpretation of a classical theme of sacred art and considers the intimate experience of the relationship between sexuality and the social taboo of the rejection of motherhood.
