For this piece, the performer draws her own blood. In silence, she uses it as ink to stamp onto discarded museum paper with self-designed stamps. The room functions like an office, a checkpoint. The work draws from Joseph Beuysโ Office for Direct Democracy (documenta 5, 1972), echoing its bureaucratic language. โI, Herebyโ observes how systems assert truth through form. It reflects the aesthetics of permission and control, only to reveal their limits. What is registered here cannot be filed.
