The artist is on the line and would like to talk to you
When a viewer picks up, I will ask one simple question:

If I tell you my deepest fear, will you tell me yours?

Carolina Pimenta, 2019

In an age where we are constantly manipulated, facing turbulent futures and prospects, I look to question common triggers to one of humanity’s most innate emotions: fear. What is your deepest fear? Confronting the spectator with a sentiment that is all too familiar, intrinsic and paralysing. At a time where the only certainty is uncertainty, fear acts as an overbearing roadblock on our true path. Similar to the ONE SHOT performance, If I tell you mine, will you tell me yours? ends up being a reflection on the impact and reverberations that the smallest thoughts can have.

Result: 31 calls
