How do we manifest the importance of the flesh (matter) in times of radical change? The transformation of the planetary condition is inevitable, as the ecological, political, social, and psychological crises suggest. The current belief in human progress and exceptionalism has to be questioned. We should exceed our anthropocentric view and remind ourselves that concepts and ideas are made from flesh and bones.

In The Confession of the Flesh, we confront the mind with the matter to point out the extreme disconnection between them, opening up the space of verticality. I attempt to invoke what we have forgotten and remind ourselves what we have been altering is ourselves. I urge the visitors to rethink their position towards what we have taken for granted is eventually in a constant, radical change.
