Imposter Syndrome is an ancestral heritage and an intergenerational trauma.
Yesterday, there was so much fire in me that I had to lie down on the grass, with my palms on the ground.
I wanted to stop feeling my body burning so much.
Have I turned into my own compensation mechanism?
I self-sabotage myself by having lots of opinions about the love I receive.
But I can’t just get love, who
the hell gets that?
I’m so tired.
I’m so tired.
(I don’t know myself without my tiredness.)
I wish I could write before my own criticism before this internalised sense of hegemonic dignity.
Before the feeling of not having thought of everything, of not having considered all the potentially catastrophic things and the formulations likely to destroy everything.  Me.
Because it’s so confusing. Yes. I was born on a Monday.

gisher | Գիշեր is a video for a performance venue. At the centre are images that multiply and decompose the act of looking, proposing to the viewer to orient himself. Words are found written and spoken, offered and translated, read and noisy. Gisher is the act of feeding, of keeping alight, of burning.
