                 What is freedom, therefore, for contemporary man? According to Eric Fromm, freedom, ends up being a psychological problem, and to justify it throws some questions, that make question the limits of the emancipation.  

     

                 What is freedom as a human experience? Is it an identical experience in all cultures? Is freedom totally the absence of external pressure or is it also the presence of something? Can freedom become a burden too heavy for man until the point of trying to evade it? Is there not perhaps, together with an innate desire for freedom, an instinctive yearning for submission? Is there hidden satisfaction in submission?

     

                 The individual does not have freedom because he has not cut the umbilical cord entirely, he clings to ties that give him security and belonging to something. In the process of growth, due to this inability to disassociate with insecurity, the individual tends to use evasion mechanisms that allow him some "security". In one hand, it has the possibility of obtaining positive freedom (based on the growth of its intellectual, emotional and sensory potentiality), while the second, however, is to withdraw and abandon freedom (to eliminate the gap between individual personality and the world ). Authoritarianism is the major exponent of this second option, a tendency to eliminate the independence of the "me" to merge with something external (search for secondary links as deficiencies or substitutes for the former). As an example of this second point, it is important to name symbiotic relationships.

     

                Symbiosis is that close and persistent relationship between two organisms of different species. A way of not only losing individuality but also freedom. There are three typologies, based on the relationship that is established. First mutualism; when the two organisms obtain benefits (nutrients, protection), the second one, commensalism; that relationship that only benefits to one (tenancy, transport ...) and finally the parasitism; Which focuses on the benefit of one party through damaging the second (blood draw). My research is focuses on how to generate these three symbiotic states (mutualism, commensalism and parasitism), through the body union of two subjects, focusing attention on the new movements that can be conceived after this connection.
