Gabriel Massan – Unbonded on a Bonded Domain –  Brazil

In Unbonded on a Bonded Domain, commissioned by FACT, London, Gabriel Massan seeks to align the emotional experience of his childhood in Rio de Janeiro, adolescence in São Paulo and maturity in Europe as raw material for his work, following the tips of writer and academic Saidiya Hartman in the concept of “Critical Fabulation”, to explore a virtual ecosystem disconnected both from its own identity and from the physical and conceptual limitations of the human body.
