Lemmy B. is an open process towards desire, a practice of self-determination.
Starting from a positioning (woman*, non-binary), I address the theme of fear as a foundational element of a structural system built on violence, and create a safe space for the reappropriation of identity, understood as a mutable and evolving possibility.
The body is conceived as a political device, as it reconfigures the relationship between subject and object, opening up new possible narratives against the dominant imagination.
The verb Let me be becomes Lemmy B., subverting the request for consent and acting in favor of self-determination.
Lemmy B. embodies discomfort, inhabits it, directs it, and transforms it.
The glitch caused by devices is turned into a resource for generative action.
