"Impoderabilia"
For this performance, the Imponderabilia in 1997, performed with her partner, Ulay. They are naked in the main entrance facing each other to act like columns. The reason is to create the complex situation of endurance which perform in extreme intimacy to make audiences choose to face one of them.
- Concerning about how the self relates to space translated into performance
- Explore the relationship between physical body
and architecture
- Create pressure and force people to touch their bodies

"There is always an edge between one thing and another - a membrane"
His work is about experience sculpture which live above all in the tension between their spatial presence and the detailed texture of their surfaces. The visitors can walk through, touch, smell, lounge and bath! in Neto's installation.
The materials that he uses are stretchy fabrics such as Lycra, nylon, tulle, cotton or net. The water drop shape is filled with different spices to make a labyrinth for the senses. Material is used to make organic structure by itself.
- tactility with stretchy materials
- awaken people senses ( seeing, touching, smelling, tasting)

Cathrine casts plaster from her own body parts such as finger tips, teeth and nipples as nodes to form words and sentences. For the candy dot, she uses her own saliva to adhere them on the wall, daring visitors partake in a sweet kiss when they read these works.
- Let the viewers interact with and activate the pieces though touch, their reading leaving trace, creating visible histories of transgressive intimacy.
- touch-based language
- conflict relationship between symbols based work, poetics and the carnal body
- feminist art of examining the body
