“The reconfiguration of the void” consists of a reflection on the representations of the body in the period of the pandemic of the covid-19, and the influences and flows in the constructions of digital identity, aiming to establish a dialogue with Georges Didi-Huberman’s poetic dead body and Byung-Chul Han’s negative narcissism. It seeks to ratify how technological devices and social distance affect the transformation of the perception of the body and the void. The narrative opens a debate about the body, the awareness of death, the emptying of self-image and the scientific fictional condition of contemporaneity. All images were captured using image filters from the Instagram app on a selfie camera, filming and distorting the artist’s own body
