IDENTIFYING HEROES
Performance art by Paolo Dumlao
Statement: Signatures are a person's source of identity and power. Signatures are personalized by one's persona and choice. With this, the artist will ask the audiences to write down their signatures on a piece of paper and post them on the artist's body. The artist, themselves, will serve as the bridge of empathy.
Why? Identifying Heroes is an interactive performance art that identifies, empowers and connects people. Each individual has their own respective struggles, success and stories that they're telling. These things, that are important to them are the battle and advocacies they're trying to conquer.
The artist body, again, serves as the people's canvass of the things they would like to share (claimed by everyone's signature).
