Línea de Tierra
2016,video performance, variable dimensions. La Sierra, Spain.
“I am the earth. I am a line. [I explore] the possibility of building a place where I can find myself through the relationship with others who surround me. I try to dimension space-place, as defined by Aristotle: ‘the immobile limit of the containing body,’ that is what surrounds us, our culture, what allows us to commune.”
A point in the plane is nothing more than a point. Two make a line. And three build a plane. With three lines we can build a support, a foundation, a plane. Triangles are, after all, the simplest stable geometrical figure.
“I am the earth. I am a line. I am a plane. My body moves in the horizon of the earth; it moves in the wind. Like a line, my body connects to another vertical line, serving as support for the sky.
I am a point supported by the sky and by the earth.”
