This play is a reflection on the (im)possibility of accepting diversity and the other. The fragmented body of the neoplasm—the fruit of unstable conditions—overcomes barriers, loves and denies itself and others, wanders around, forgetting its profession. It frequently and with pleasure divides, goes through dangerous palpation, questions the possibility of contact with the experience of the other. Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

An open box is the only object in the gallery. The aluminum cube, whose grey surface has been sandblasted and oiled, was inserted into the floor with calculated precision. The inside of the box is two inches deeper than the floor on which it appears to sit.
Artist Statement
This box is two inches deeper on the inside than it is on the outside. To install the piece a square hole is cut out of the floor. The bottom two inches of the box sit in the unseen hole. The dimensional distortion is very quiet.
