Duration: 15 min aprox

Grimmuseum Berlin, Germany.

More, more, more is a proposal between installation and performance. The author drives our look to a figure that represents symbolically this concrete moment of capitalism, which is defined by Edward Lutwak as "Turbocapitalism".

 

This figure or character, which formally is a white man completely black painted, it set us in a scene that fluctuates between the ridiculous and the heroic when he cuts various tyres with a power saw to puts on after as body prosthesis.

 

During the action the sounds connects us directly with the concept of machine´s velocity, that looks like fighting with itself, in a absurd try of bionic transformation. The performer puts himself over the tray and realizes bodybuilder´s posses accompanied with a rhythm built by screechings of brakes´s and roaring plugs´s sounds; this is very related with the futurism´s aesthetic of Marinetti, whose aesthetic values were the power, the speed, the velocity, the energy, the movement, the dehumanization, and the war like the only hygienic labor in the world.

 

More, more, more! is, after "Turbodriver" and "Only for money" the third piece that Félix Fernández presents us in relation with this subject matter, questioning the political-social-economical moment we are living.
