Self-care is a video performance project of landscape interventions in which the artist interacts with nature through augmented self-care tools. Back scratcher, scalp soother or body and foot massager; tools with which we take care for ourselves or our loved ones are taken and adapted to be used by the artist with the same concern for soothing the earth/soil.

The project aims to push the boundaries of our most personal care. By entering into such intimate contact, the project wants to rethink our position in relation to the Earth. A transition from the Earth as something external to utilize, to something internal to take care of. The conceptual framework of the project is based on the work of Bruno Latour - After Lockdown: A Metamorphosis (2021). In it, Latour offers a new reading of Kafka’s Metamorphosis, finding a parallel between the man who wakes up in lockdown with a greater understanding of the planetary consequence of his action and Kafka’s character, who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect-like creature.
