Kamikaze


2019
9-day performance, map/installation, conversation, listening.
Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design
Wroclaw, Poland.



I´ll enter the space without knowing exactly what I´ll be doing or showing during the time of the exhibition.

Not knowing will be the continous starting point. I might do something or not. If I do nothing that will be something anyway. If I do something that could be nothing as well. I know there are expectations from the audience and the space might look empty, this will be fine even though it may seem disappointing...The space awaits to transform and empty itself in the continous attempt to frame, reframe, unframe its activity.

If I do something this will be in correspondance to the place, the interaction with the audience and the time being.

Casa 49. San Jose, Costa Rica.
Ƨ P A M is a network for collective graphics and thinking through maps and mapping.

An an-archive of cartographies and collective graphics based on mail art method used for collecting, sharing and creating collective cartographies; images were printed to create a map displayed as collective installation and exhibition.

As part of the exhibition in Casa 49, a workshop was organized to collectively intervene/modiify the actual installation and exhibition of collective cartographies coming from the mail art process and collaboration with over 200 artists. The participants of the workshop created a new collective graphic process involving tools such as drawing and manual printing (relief, chine colle), printing on the materials of the exhibition and creating a new series of prints. 

With the participation of: Ioannis Anastasiou, Sergio Caballero, Pawel Drabarczyk, Luis Duran, Jumana Hamdani, Sepa Sama, Ivan Juarez, Thomas O’Grady, Mariela Richmond, Flavia Sanchez Cabezas, Varvara Tokareva, Alessandro Valerio Zamora, Karen Clachar, Inova Walker among many others.

From Chauvet and Altamira to electric screens and the internet, the history of comunication could perhaps be considered as the progressive enlightening of the stone.

Its inversion creates a different time, an interval much more opaque and dilated. Congealed and heavy. Silent noise. Acting as a ragpicker that collects an impossible accumulation from the daily debris; building a fossilised beehive or an arqueological archieve that rests for a future after the cease of the internet.
