The artist impersonates Turritopsis Dohrnii (The immortal jellyfish) wearing a technology-based costume constructed from LED, EPS, cables etc.
Turritopsis Dohrnii is an extraordinary creature, that has existed on our planet since the beginning. It possesses regenerative abilities and can restart its life in an endless cycle. The performance is based on choreography and interaction. Turritopsis Forever opens a space for questions, reflection, and self-awareness concerning regeneration, cycles, time, and existential being. The piece exists as a performance and video.
