Manera 2 delves into deviation as a symbolic and ritual gesture naturally produced by mannered bodies. Through the metaphor of the plow penetrating the earth, the piece transforms the agricultural act into a ceremonial drawing, where the undulating and flexible line subverts the rectilinear tradition. The characters embody allegorical drives within a fertile landscape, activating relations between the human and the animal through a curvilinear visual language.
This work explores “manners” as deformed expressions of the body —mannerisms— that dislocate the biologicist norm. Each gesture becomes a moving drawing, a line of flight bending toward other forms of existence.
