video of the non stop 48 hours performance.

In this performance, which lasted 48 hours non-stop, I started by mixing 1000 kilos of clay with a bundle of straw. With the mixture I built an anthropomorphic shape around 2 metres high in the centre of the room, immediately afterwards I divided the shape in two and at the same time I also divided the space, shortly afterwards with each half I built again an anthropomorphic shape in the centre of each space and then I divided again each shape and each space in two, after that I placed another shape in the centre of each space, and so the action is repeated several times, dividing shapes and spaces until the number of 160 figures is obtained, each of which occupies proportionally the same space as the first figure. . in the last part of the action with my feet I flattened the figures until they formed a stratum on which I placed again a large quantity of clay and straw as an invitation to repeat the whole process indefinitely.
