My memories his memories
My memories his memories
In this Installation work there is a video and the remained material from the action
filmed during the process of it.
This is the sume of two different actions and generations. In a first action inside my
studio I was playing inside the stuffin material of my former soft sculpture pieces,
remembering images of my childhood. When I was putting together this piece in
W@W with the help of my son I realized that at that present moment we were
creating a new memory this time for him. We both participated in the recording of it.
The material in the installation is the encounter point of both memories, past and future unlinear time. The videos on the
screen instead, show the linear time: my memory
and his memory separated.

The Tower
The Tower
work in progress...
An interactive project, inspired in both The Babel Tower story
and the recent attacks in Europe and Middle East.
The sound of the video features several women's voices. All of
them are reading a homemade bread recipe; each one in her own language.
The pre-recorded video, which depicts an image of me seated and
reading my grandmother’s homemade bread recipe from my mother’s cookbook, will
be projected on to the screened, front windows of the ACSF 924 building during
Art week. The screen is divided into three panels. In one of the
three panels, I appear standing and reading the same recipe live, in real
time. In order to accomplish this live component, I will stand in front
of a green screen in a room, from which my image will be projected onto the one
third of the three panels screen alongside the other two other images of me.
Simultaneously, pedestrians on Lincoln Road (where the screen will be
installed), will be invited to read a homemade bread recipe (in various
languages) while seated in a red chair, identical to the red chair in the
video. The images of pedestrian participation will appear intermittently on the
screen, alternating with the image of my live performance; either me or the
person reading will appear on the third part of the screen.
There are no statements for this piece but rather provocative
shots. Womanhood and bread as unifiying, universal elements; language as
symbolic representation of separation and division. Issues of cause and effect
are explored as well
The
different vocal recordings are manipulated as sound tracks, creating a sense of
space and giving control to each language during different moments.
