Notre Dame
Notre-Dame is a multimedia project that uses photography, video, spoken word, sculpture and performance art to create an autobiographical storytelling re-presenting what Lux calls “the burn of inner cathedral built inside of me”. Taking place during the time of the burn of the notre dame cathedral and after an experience of public lynching, the artist used journalistic content and pop culture elements that normalize the dehumanization of certain bodies in public media outlets as a background that uncomfortably displays societal bias when it comes to human rights and “reparations, such as the notre dames pinacle. “You can’t carry a weight that doesn't belong to you”, the project also comes from a process of auto therapy and giving back to the world a trauma that does not belong to her.
Being educated in schools run by nuns and priests Lux uses her “weapons” (mediums) in an attempt to “destroy her own inner cathedral”. She will break your and her heart and make you laugh with jokes as sharp as it’s pieces. Performing with a hyperrealistic human sized heart made of sugar, she portrays that acting vulnerable while being aware of history feels like carrying a bomb among western people.
