The Apprentice

suddenly the boss was contacting me to know how I was doing
porque todo se me rompe?
como piezas de barro hechas por mis hijos o por mi madre
all the pieces were breaking in my shaking hands
under pressure

I was going to have to perform an art action and I needed to do it for "The Apprentice" (T.V.).
The only idea I had was (that) to do a "pass the parcel" in front of the jury and to talk about the association-improvising about the contents, talking about what is inside and actually that was the only real feeling of something that I know how to do, talking from the inside...

war zone

I am in a war zone,
industrialised,
in construction and the only way to keep myself safe is to go to meet some friends and share some chocolate cake with them...

Political Performance

The Bar? Sudden Passion
and it was great!
in the morning....he stands by my side and we can be friends,
and face it.
Then he wants to offer me a wheelchair tattoo but I have no time for that and I get out of the car to do a performance:
in the public space, half naked I scream
"I am not Charlie" or "I love Islam" or "Long live Islam" kind of thing...my friend is worried about me, but I leave very elegant and simple dressed with a leather black bag, to be with my son. Because of my son I am protected, he looks like a real gentleman, and there are some hair dresser shops and malls...French Authorities:watching me.

She was friendly and kind with me

Will I have the courage to stop and feed it?

modern life / ancient wall

Modern life,
like a metro station 
-how are you?
I am living like in a public space,
a carrefour, rushing people everywhere...
I find some hand made thin gloves stained with ink, why I haven't used them more? for very thin hands...
Ancient life,
white european woman
without problems
they are not scared, they find some niches!
very narrow stairs, if you loose balance you have nothing to hold on to.

Muros anchos

Soñé, soñé, soñé, soñé, soñé, soñé, soñé, soñé:

V. y yo nos encontramos en un edificio colonial en ruinas, bello, cuadrado, sólido, antiguo, donde él tiene una gran admiración por mi hijo.

Por que él?

Compañero de estudios, artista, ex algo, intelectual sofisticado multicultural, sensible

+ otros compañeros estudiantes de arte

Yo estoy en esta casa, soy parte de ella

Documental

Film documental especial sobre La Flaca Alejandra y la Memoria.

Algo que toca a todos los chilenos –la tortura, las cárceles secretas de la dictadura de Pinochet-

Gradas sobre otras gradas como si hubiesen diferentes niveles de lectura en el público chileno.

Mi padre (una de las víctimas) viene hacia mi y llora y es vulnerable y se quiebra y yo puedo consolarlo y abrazarlo. Pero tengo que sacarlo pues estamos o él está tan afectado como un niño que para no molestar a los espectadores tenemos que salir.

Under pressure

I was going to have to perform an art action and I needed to do it for "The apprentice", (really bad tv show). The only idea I had was to do a "pass the parcel"in front of the jury and to talk about the association improvising about the contents, talking about what is inside and actually that was the only real feeling of something that I know how to do: to talk from the inside.
-Suddenly the boss was contacting me to know how I was doing.
-Why I brake every thing? News paper, All the pieces were braking in my shaking hands, like clay pieces made by my children or very naives.

"Breast feeding" performance

Me and my daughter,amplifiers,a microphone, closed curtains, people can't see me, only hear the sound of breastfeeding,the space is precarious like and old temple just about to fall apart.

Like Farah

I had the means to reach a far away and chaotic place like Rusia to meet with the cool guys of La Panaderia, was awesome to arrive there, it was An Event. After taking a shower I was transformed in "Farah Faucet", mostly in my hair. The public awaited us anxiously. I had not coordinate yet with M. and J. who were like strong centers of gravitation who made me a bit scared for the same reason. D. was with me and was trying to give me some confidence (she was like the mother I always wanted to have), she was telling me that I could do a good performance in that spectacle. She was telling me that I had that experience in myself. I looked super pretty with my bikini-underwear from "Women's Secret". A., M., K., and T. who where there, adored me. I needed to perform like in the old times, but I was getting nervous, so then I put something in my hair and I wasn't so spectacular anymore. The dream lives me with the desire of (not) going back to the past, Ayayay!

curator & woman artis

I am cleaning some shit and while I am doing it  some men take advantage to look at my breast while I am bending, and at the same time I am offering a curator to sell him a carpet but with a happy woman silhouette....and I am worried that the information that he is putting in the book La Panadería about my work is all wrong...

keeping up with contemporary art

then A and me we go to a gallery in London, very cool, avant-garde, edgy-decadent, very cool now. And the thing is that it was very very fashionable and we had to chew chewing gums.
One of the art pieces had some sequins( like the ones I use in my drawings) pasted but very professionally, pasted with wires to the painting, (+ masculine), and I am so jealous.
So I am chewing a huge chewing gum, I can't hardly do it... is to difficult to chew, so then a man tells me: BUT YOU CAN HAVE A REST.
- but look she is doing it quiet well, she has a circular rhythm...- a woman says about me to an other spectator...

...I am quite high, people admiring me because I have this new bearded baby, love, love, love...feels good, but my job is to keep an eye on a spoiled little girl who might steal The Passports from an old communist leader. I was like standing in a mantelpiece, and suddenly I fall and I hold on...but I can't hold any more...so I let go and actually is not that hight and I don't brake when I fall.
