The value of
a single moment.
On the connection between projects, the meaning of limits, and the desire to make something that cannot be repeated.
Why one shot, one print, and the destruction of the memory card?
“The rigidity is the meaning. In a world of infinite ‘undo’ buttons and endless possibilities, limitations create value. The single shutter press forces absolute focus and presence. The on-site printing transforms a digital file into a physical object. And the destruction of the card elevates that object from a copy to a unique artifact. It’s a closed loop. Without any one of those steps, the entire concept would lose its power.”
How do Orgasm and EXISTOS connect?
“They are two sides of the same coin, both born from a rebellion against artifice. The ‘Orgasm’ series was a stand against the emotional artifice we are fed by the media. EXISTOS is a stand against the digital artifice of our online lives. One fought for unfiltered emotion; the other fights for permanent, singular moments. They both stem from the same core belief: there is profound power and beauty in what is unrepeatable and true.”
What should a participant take away?
“The feeling of liberation. In that moment, they are not creating content for an audience; they are participating in a private, definitive act. The destruction of the digital file is a declaration of freedom from the pressure to perform, share, and curate our lives online. They take away a moment of pure presence, which has become the ultimate luxury in our hyper-connected world.”Visit existos.art
