This performance art consists of two men dressed as boxers performing fighting moves, but they use a unique pair of special gloves that connects their bodies, making opponents into allies, turning a fight into affection. The idea of ​​triumph is not that there is a slight advantage over the other, but that harmony is established, where complements replace hostilities.

This work is part of the series “Memento Mori”.
