My Story, Let Me Tell It — Act II expands the phrase first presented on a mirror into a suspended spatial installation composed of 53 serial plates. Each element repeats the statement “My Story, Let Me Tell It” and is placed at a different height, creating a continuous vertical field of reading.
The work interrupts the average line that silently organises the exhibition gaze. There is no central axis and no neutral measure. The installation is structured from the concrete variation of human bodies and lines of sight, converting difference into spatial organisation.
Each plate functions as a unit of encounter between body, language and architecture. The height of the phrase, the distance between the centres of the plates and the distribution of the elements are not decorative or arbitrary decisions. They derive from the real dimension of the text and from the need to create a continuous field of access, without exceptional zones or compensatory devices.
In this act, authorship ceases to be only a statement and becomes architecture. The visitor does not encounter a single privileged point of view. The work reorganises the space from bodily plurality, making visible how exhibition systems often assume a normative body as their silent measure.
The installation refuses inclusion as institutional rhetoric. It proposes accessibility as structure: physical, measurable and spatially verifiable. The body is not adapted to the space; the space is reorganised from the body.
Within the broader body of work My Story, Let Me Tell It, Act II transforms narrative sovereignty into spatial practice. To tell one’s own story is not only to speak. It is also to dispute the height, distance, architecture and conditions under which a body may appear, read, remain and be recognised.
