“Lawless Zone" is a direct illustration of the torture and exactions
orchestrated in the world's lawless territories, where human beings are
threatened, kidnapped, tortured, raped, assassinated, erased... This outdoor
installation is conceived as a geographic space (country), delimited by a
plastic security line (white and red) behind which the body of a man is tied
to a pole. Realized as a performance of long duration, this work
permits the creation of a live and emotive dialogue with the public.
"Lawless Zone" continues my work in public, initiated with "In the Turkish
Jail" in Las Palmas, 2001.”
