This specific work entitled “Stigmas” was created during the winter semester as part of the “Video Art” course, as my first assignment for the course on the topic: “The Body”. I decided to create a “video performance”, which will coexist with my own musical spontaneity on the subject after the video was shot. This spontaneity contains my own recorded narration in the form of whispers, with intense processing of alteration and distortion in the voice. The aim of the work was to capture the most acceptable and familiar, pleasant or unpleasant “signs” of experiences, which remain unchanged in each individual (physically and mentally).

A bloody calf
blocks 
the sky
they are used to it
they don't mind 
a good candle 
and cheap chamomile
they only ask 
for iron flowers
 to brighten their sleep
They are used to 
the iron flies
buzzing 
and swelling their eyes
they are used to it
they only ask
for good candle 
and cheap chamomile 
and a bloody calf 
to block the sky
