Ennoia

Énnoia is a solo performance-installation situated in a gallery space, posing the question: where am I thinking? The title derives from the Greek ἔννοιᾰ (énnoia), meaning “the act of thinking.” The project unfolds as a practice-based inquiry into the relation between corporeality and abstract thought—first as it manifests within the artist’s own body, and potentially as a shared human condition.

The process proceeds from intimate, first-person material: the performer’s physical presence and the attentional drift of a distractible, associative mind. Rather than staging thought as disembodied reflection, the work approaches cognition as something sensed, displaced, and re-located through movement, posture, and spatial orientation.

At its core, Énnoia asks how cognition is situated in the body and how bodily states, habits, and environments modulate cognitive experience. The installation format allows the thinking body to be encountered as both object and process—at once observed and observing—inviting viewers to negotiate their own position within this field of embodied thought.
