FUTURE OPTIMISM, 2021, 5 min video
LOCKDOWN PERFORMANCES 2021
Future Optimist; Obsession, and Insecure at Night;
Are a trilogy of short video performances created during the global lockdown. In these works, Dino Desica appears as the performer.
Rather than separate explorations, the works collectively function as a performative response to the isolation and shifting dynamics of human interaction experienced during this period.
OBSESSION 2021, 3:25 min video
The trilogy explores the idea of “undressing” in emotional, spiritual, and physical forms, highlighting a need for connection, validation, and human presence.
Set entirely within domestic spaces, the videos attempt to capture the fleeting energy of live performance within the transient nature of online interaction, juxtaposing raw emotional intensity with the often detached experience of digital communication.
Created during a moment that defined our present existence, whether consciously or not, the works stand as a quiet testament to the pace and psychological shift brought about by the pandemic, socially, politically, culturally, and personally.
