Lost in the Skin is a physiological and philosophical tale about the profoundness of self-experience and self-cognition. Following up on her democratic body, the artist revisits the theme of the BODY which is cast as the main protagonist in the performance. Skin becomes a convention, protection, umbrella, and a springboard. We only know our body as a reflection, we are alien to our touch. To love oneself, to respect oneself, to be honest with oneself. The presence and better recognition of the self – one’s body – facilitates the functioning of different yet somewhat identical bodies in the society.
