Performance-installation inspired by the concept of autopoiesis, formulated by Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, which describes the condition common to every living being: the continuous self-production necessary for the maintenance of life. Cells are born and die; skin, epidermis, organs, mucous membranes, blood, and bones are in a permanent process of regeneration, sustaining the existence of the bodies that constantly produce themselves.

The installation consists of a series of photographs, tufts of hair accumulated over years, and a looping performance presented at the opening. In the following days, the live action is replaced by the exhibition of a video.

The images and the action start from an intimate gesture: the collection of hair that falls out during bathing. Intertwined on the fingers in the act of detangling, these strands were shaped in small tufts and stored in a box over 15 years.
In the performance, the artist removes, one by one, the tufts accommodated in her own head, dropping them to the ground. She then braids a hair mask, collects the scattered strands, places them back on her head, and closes them as if in a cocoon — thus restarting the cycle. With each loop, a garment is removed or replaced, modulating layers of the action, which can last up to three hours
