I am you you am I

Description

I AM YOU YOU AM I is the core gesture of a rogue performance that I created with my friends in a courtyard in Berlin, and it is the core phrase of my belief system. The act of making this artwork and minting it is an attempt to bring together my history of presence-based work with my engagement in cryptoart and AI. To do so, I’ve encapsulated every part of my practice: voice, poetry, fashion, painting, performance, generative AI, and surrender. The mask I wear is not a means of hiding; it is a vehicle to consciously claim the space between myself and the world, to use it intentionally in order to invite and invoke new means of connection. When I lift the mask, it is not myself that I reveal, but the place where all of us are merged into a nameless being. When we commit to the moment and surrender to the unconditional, all that we can do is hold each other from within. The costume I wear in this piece is a fabric that I hand-painted and was sewn by the designer Don Aretino & headpiece by Lorenzo Seghezzi The video was filmed by videographer Ansgar Schwarz. The AI layers were generated using Stable Diffusion and Runway. The date of minting is the anniversary of my first music video, PATHS, filmed on the 11.11 2017
