La violenza della creazione
(last edited: 2026)
author(s): Xichen Qian
This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
This research explores creation as a form of violence that operates through interruption, erasure, and bodily pressure rather than through visible conflict or aggression.
Through a conference-performance, writing is treated as an unstable action: it begins, stops, fails, and is physically destroyed without revealing its content. The work focuses on moments where creation resists completion, and where decisions to stop, delete, or abandon become central gestures.
By placing the performer behind the audience and withholding textual legibility, the research shifts attention from meaning to process, from narrative to tension. Creation is approached not as expression or inspiration, but as a concrete and irreversible experience that acts upon the body and its limits.
