By metamorphosis we understand “transformation” in it’s very pure form, a step by step process, described often by the example of the caterpillar transforming to a butterfly. This performance inspires itself from the “metamorphosis” from Ovid, speaking about the transformation of a physical body, not its identity. In this performance a transformation takes place: the action unfolds in the body freeing itself from being fully covered in aluminium tape. The material, used for conservation, aims to “conserve” a female body by conservative standards: pure, clean, protected. There is no space for female sexuality, sensuality and pleasure. By breaking free from this caging, catholic and conservative reality, female liberation becomes political.
