The cheap b&w printed A4 paper is an essential element of my plastic vocabulary, as it conveys a sense of urgency and a DIY ethos. Each iteration of the piece brings new literary compositions to life, summoned in dialectical tension: an urge to express a queer feminist anger, while simultaneously engaging in a daring fight against language. The relation with the audience is equally ambivalent between the frustration of a perceived distance and a genuine desire for connection. This modulation of affect and energy takes all its depth while pages are offered to the audience with tender agression. Those remaining on the floor after the performance are then picked up and crudely framed, constituting the only trace left afterwards.

The title refers to Che Guevera's book Guerrilla Warfare, a handy practical guide for the revolutionary subject that made a strong impression on me when I discovered it at the sweet age of 15, in the peak of my teenage rebellion. This work is a meditation on continuity, radicality, engagement, and the melancholy of antagonism.

Performed at Nida Art Colony in April 2023 and New Fears Galery in August 2024.
