NOVEMBER 2010
11/25 International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Performance in Morón.
The t-shirt says: "Because you are a woman you are not exempt of exercising violence against me because I am woman."

I delivered texts with the next poem:
Because I am a woman some people tell me things at the streets
Because I am a woman I have to censure the clothes that i choose to wear
Because I am a woman some people give me a bad look and stare
Because I am a woman I'm afraid of staying at the corner
Because I am a woman a doctor didn't think that it was inappropriate to cross the line in my body
Because I am a woman I find it difficult to find a job without being exploited
Because I am a woman most of the people think that i like to suck cocks
Because I am a woman I have to take care of not being seen with more than a man
Because I am a woman I have to think if I smile or not, when and to whom
Because I am a woman repeatedly I was denigrated
Because I am a woman I am submitted to some social conventions
Because I am a woman at home they send me to wash the dishes
Because I am a woman they make invisible my lesbian relations
Because I am a woman I get insulted saying that I am anything but a woman
Because you are a woman you are not exempt of excercising violence against me because I am a woman too.

I AM WOMAN, AND I FEEL YOUR VIOLENCE

"My Costume" Installation made with the clothes that I used in the performance that i made the following day.
There are transsexual women who live their transition at work, and others who must disguise themselves as man to continue their job. Taking advantage of the space given to me to present another work in a festival of art, I did an installation where I put the clothes that I would wear the next day at work: my last day at work pretending to be male.

"To touch or not to touch"

In a round wooden base that represents the world as we know today, the cones that are more that resemble each other more and seem to not have any notorious different between themself, they are grouped around a "leader" that is the perfection and the closest thing to what we concibe as "ideal" represented in a cone without failure or textures. Out of this circle of cones apparently equals there are dispersed and isolated the cones with notorious differences both from the others as between them. This cones without enamel represents the false minorities: the homosexuals, the blacks, the Jews, the transgender, the immigrant, the people with disabilities, mentally ill, the differents.
Around the group that represents the majority it is written the mott: "Look but don't touch.". Around the leader there is written a little smaller: "Admire it but don't think it." Around the different cones is written sligthly "You judge them but you don't know them." The main title of the work: "To touch or not to touch" – in alusion to the famous "To be or not to be" – encourages the viewer to choose between just look superfluous a world divided between the equals and the differents, or interact and discover that when you lift up the cones that seems equals there are notorious differences in their interior (like texture and enamel), and the cones that seems differents have in their interior the same that excludes from being like the others: the superfluous simplicity so overrated and enameled. With this I not only try to point that we prejudice those who seems differents, we also prejudice those that are considered the "normal/equals", and if maybe we y que if we could overcome this fear of getting to know another, and we off-at least one minute of ourselves, we could discover that we are all equally different, and not so different as to stop being the same... 
The conceptual work is double, because even its comprehension seems to depend of the active interaction of the viewer, exactly that the viewer choose to not problematize this scenery works with the idea of the same that point how easier is to us remain on the surface and do our conclusions about what we know without get involved in the reality where we actually live immersed.

"Extension of the self-portrait"
Presentation made at the Univerisity (IUNA), work with the grayscale about a photo of a space.
I wanted to take a picture of some place of the University that I like, and instinctively I take a picture of one of the passages that I often cross. Therefore I wondered myself, why do I like more this place than the cafeteria where I use to sit between classes?” Maybe it's because a hallway it is not a place to sit or stay, it is a place to transit, and that's how I feel today: in transition state, man for many, woman for some, experiencing changes in my body. It's for that I consider this work an extension of the self-portrait, because it represents my actual status, and I print it on myself, because – beyond my process as an artist and as a woman – I also know that everybody cross infinite hallways that promise take us to those places where we can sit and stay.
The presentation was a performance where I used my body. The works were printed on my shirt with diamond shape. I gave to the participants frames of the photo with a heart shape, that combined to the works they transform in arrows that indicated a way up or down.

"Try me"
Installation made for the Universtiy, work of colors based on a picture of a space. To this installation you could enter after participate on the performance.


The works seemed to have the form of dresses, for which the presentation consisted of a collection. There was a section where the public could try the different works hung on hangers on an asexual body, making installation a playful proposal.

"You can see us as an obstacle (and avoid us)

"Seed-Identity" 
(PAST)
Presentation made at the University (IUNA), work with points and lines about a self-portrait.
"In a box that simulates to be a parcel of land, where the grass grows green and lively, I don't bury a dead person, neither hide something of what I feel ashamed. I do delivery of something mine that turns a stranger: a couple of representation of my no-face, my no-ID, my no-passaport, my no-me.
I put them in the ground as several seeds, waitting that from that identity emerges a bigger one, one that'll pass through the ground in search for light, and I'll could finally say: That's me."
