He started to produce videos of performance back in college, and in recent years tries to create performances combining role-play and Shaman rituals. The inspiration of "Versus" comes from the artist's brother, who has suffered from seeing spirits of supernatural power for years and was eventually diagnosed as Schizophrenic and under medication. Upset by the personal experience of his family, Martin Lorenzo P. de Mesa was in fear, and then tries to understand his brother via psychiatry and traditional religions. Ultimately the artist decides to make good use of Butoh performance he loves to interpret the "Versus" world his brother lives in as well as the anxiety and the disruption within.
