While taking care of the breath, the voice starts to sound as it is formed and the whole world starts to vibrate differently. By breathing, singing or talking, the voice travels inside the body, touches the organs and colors them through vibration. Some voices, which means some bodies, are under shock; by altering the resonance of the voice, the body starts to vibrate differently, so some of the organs, that are in pain will start to recuperate.

For more than a decade, I have anchored my artistic practice through the development of a self-care routine based on breathing, movement, and voice that helped and still helps me to experiment and prepare for performance works. This practice became the basis for my work Dynamis, featured at documenta 14 (Kassel and Athens, 2017), which involved sharing these techniques with over 200 members of the public across the two cities. During this process, I responded to the public’s need and I decided to engage in a deeper understanding of self-recovery that gradually evolved into IASI (recovery), an ongoing research practice and a body of treatments conducted in one-to-one sessions with a protocol of anonymity.
