L’appuntamento (The appointment)

performance end video installetion 2023

The performance is inspired by methods used to communicate in Argentine prisons. The performers, clambering onto an improvised structure that serves as a pedestal, "recite" through mute prisoner language, a fragment of poetry written by a political prisoner, in an attempt to create a kind of living memorial.

The poem reads: 

I have an appointment, 

dangerous?

Yes, that they don't come to know, 

it is with life!

The structure becomes a sculpture the moment there are no performers and in their place a video is installed with the artist performing.
