A jar to keep a proof of Imagination and Innocence

rotten fish

Brazil? white thick walls, lots of light and some strange men
co-location with and old friend?
under a lot of rotten fish I found one that is still ok
I put it in a water tank but then I realise that is death
it has being opened and even the heart and organs have being cleaned...

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.

(my truth)

...inside de the Institution a bit dark and boring, I am not welcome unless I come with X...
but with X we decide to leave...
in the open hair, I feel angry and hurt, and I fund a silver jewel with turquoise on the floor where I am speaking my truth, 
other people cool and young gets inspired...

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

Stairs

we were all equals

...anoche o anteanoche soñé que estaba con C y Ch y estábamos en una isla o lugar virgen, nuevo. En este nuevo lugar eramos iguales, parecidos, no habían superiores o inferiores.

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.

Generations of women before and after me

I was taking a picture of A.K. and an ancient  A.K. and there was one even before...(Generations of women before and after me)
Then an attractive man appears:
-You are very thin...-I say to him.
-Yes, I am eating only organic meat, no more industrial meat, I have my own mind.
-And your head looks quite funny..."-I say  and want to hold him by his legs while he is floating.

Until the End of the World

...we were really high in an art studio, we could see the summit of the Salève or of the Tepozteco. I am wearing an old black dress full of paint stains like the milky way...
the artist friend offers me his love but I decline the invitation and invite him to see the most amazing cosmic phenomena: the sun and an other star or planet coinciding in the sky, until The End of the World.

henhouse

...soñé con mi papá, estaba en una casa pobre de San Manuel y tenía una actitud de contento y relajado.
Yo venía de lejos y no tenía donde vivir, entonces me decía que tenía que vivir con él pues así nuestra situación sería menos difícil, uniríamos fuerzas. Estaba M. y otros amigos, N. y G. y tenía que darles algo de comer, todo era precario pero había un ambiente humano agradable: helado de melón y galletas con queso que empezaba a distribuir y luego M. decía que ahí había habido una fiesta muy buena en un gallinero con nieve como cristal. Era la casa de mi papá y yo había al fin vuelto a ayudar, a devolver algo.
"Me voy a quedar a cuidarte hasta que seas viejito" le decía(and if there was no more food I was happy to go shopping to the local shop. I wanted to be helpful: nothing to be ashamed of, a precarious life but happy and grateful) snowed henhouse...there was a nice party.
