Toilet Zone [2008]

Technology and science have globally evolved in significant ways over the years and yet there has been minimal evolution in today's human way of thinking. Sexual censorship is just one of the elements that demonstrates the transgression of the human mind and remains evidently in today's society. It is still considered inappropriate and unacceptable to discuss sex in public context or merely give thought to it even though it is understood that it is a phenomena existent to mankind—a natural thought and a biological need that manifests into a psychological state of fantasy. The performance entitled Toilet Zone was censured by several institutions in Portugal because it would reflect these ideas and would directly confront the viewer with scenes of sexual fetishism -- a concept that remains taboo, a rejection among today's society. The performance would exhibit what is an integral part of the human existence that is not concealed nor misled by set cultural ideologies, religion, the media and even art. However, the video installation remains.
