Un rio yace sobre mi espalda (a river lies on my back) 2016 / Video ARTWORK DESCRIPTION A river lies on my back It is true that far away from the place of origin goes with his face still without form, he takes care of it and walks towards "built" land. He leaves the sea, Only a bird passes by arriving To a thousand fallen walls He hangs the painting, He takes care of its origin, But fatigue does not let him know With how much soil. The blue face will be covered.
The video deals with going out of your usual space, your landscape, you are the water and you have to go inhabit another space. That pushes your identity to undergo a transformation, which is why this destructed space is a representation of something constructed, of a city, maybe.
