The isolation experienced by people during the COVID pandemic inspired Bonello to create “This is my place”.

The idea behind this work stems from a primal question: What is the space in which and the way how a person should live?

The equilateral triangle, the quintessential Platonic form and the origin of many complex shapes in nature, divides the space into distinct realms—the home, the place of refuge (nature), and the boundary that separates it from civilization.

The performance takes place within this temporary and inviolable space, which can be set up either in nature or in urban settings like squares or parks. It invites the audience to walk, sleep, reflect, stand, and move in and out in an endless cycle, serving as a metaphor for continuous forward movement and never ceasing.

One of the vertices of the triangle has been precisely aligned with the point of sunset, positioning the artwork as an environmental compass guiding the way to eternity, marked by the eternal cycle of sunrise and sunset, day and night—symbolizing the perfect balance between nature and progress.
