Disturbance is a negative self-defense for people with mental disorders. In difficult times, such people create visual noise from household objects to distract attention.
Such behavior can be compared to that of an octopus in a stress situation. If the creature hunts the shark and escapes, the octopus makes a visual noise from falling under tentacles. An formed mess of shells is a self-defense against predator.
A person with a mental disorder creates visual chaos at the workplace or by the bed, hoarding used tea bags, candy wrappers, empty chip packs, dirty ice cream buckets and unwashed dishes.
In this state, he leaves endlessly short spots, feeding on cheap dopamine.
This image will form the basis of the performance at the upcoming exhibition. An artist in an octopus costume will be able to use his fingers to flip screens with endless tape, simulating digital dependence and existential exhaustion. The installation will be supplemented by mountains of garbage — those very tea bags, fantics, and empty packages — as a metaphor for consumer automation and mental fragmentation.
