In Person Unlimited, Atta uses seven parts of his body to explore stories from his life, travelling through the body from crown to root. Atta centres his own Black queer body as his field of exploration, looking inwards, as well as out to the systems in which he has learned to operate, the places he has been and the things he has achieved. Person Unlimited explores self-love and not being limited by racism, homophobia, toxic masculinity, fear or shame.
