Residency process
Popular practices
I confront the axes of my work with the context as an exercise in listening and review. I investigate food and the aesthetics of the body as aspects that show social agreements, the public versus what is told in silence.
.
I am interested in learning about popular practices, street food, sweets and the dynamics that are generated around their consumption, as a way of seeing invisible limits and agreements. I consider these specific dynamics as a possibility to show the power relations of a broad context and their complex management.
.
He acted from the curious questioning (far away therefore) and although I did not want to, as a visitor at the end, I differentiate myself by the mirror-map from where I compare, for better and for worse, with my own space of similar stories, a space of contradictions. From there too, I hope to share my strange gaze as a possibility of dialogue
