The last performative walk titled Principles of the Invisible by artist Nika Batista is a thoughtful sound-and-movement experience that will take place on 14 August 2025, in Rafut Park as part of the BIEN 2025 Textile Art Biennial. This walking performance guides the audience through the park amid fluttering layers of transparent textiles and fading hopes.
The artist pulls and wraps her body with the wind, ties and layers herself with memories, while the air penetrates every thread and every plant in the park. With each step, thoughts and decaying memories accumulate as gentle imprints of the body in space and time.
Nika Batista, born in 1991, is an intermedia artist working at the intersection of performance, textiles, the body, and the visualization of emotions. Her work explores the subtle balance between the felt and the seen, placing the human being at the center of emotional existence. Her projects transcend conceptual and physical boundaries and are marked by a sense of ephemerality.
