Aleksandar Georgiev is interested in the sensation of sending and receiving pain. In his latest piece named THRESHOL(in process “D”) he is using the pain threshold and pain tolerance as resources for movement and as well as tools for creating different states and images within duration of the movement action. The intention is to play with perception of sending and receiving the inputs of physical touch/pain. He started from the opinion that we lose the possibilities of pure touch/pain after certain year of our life. As the time is passing and we receive more information we over do it. As this becomes a routine and our brain is just operating from memory without letting us feel it another way.
