Artists such as Nan Goldin are a major influence on my current artistic work. Like Goldin, how many times do I need to be reminded by someone or something that life (art) doesn't happen anywhere else but here and now? How often I look around and think: this is what people do... this is how they live... this is what they feel... this is what they are.. reminding myself of what I do, what I live, what I feel... what I am.
In the sequence of my last work Insider and in the process of creating Aún en este mundo, I remain interested in exploring the fine line between art and life, the private and the public. I'm still interested in the property that I find on that boundary and in bringing it to one of my main concerns as an artist now: to ensure that my works can be effectively read by audiences who are not necessarily specialised.
In this new work, I want to understand what really moves me right now, as always, through a deeper reflection on the relationship between what I do and those who observe – the audience. With Aún en este mundo I want to continue exploring what I read one beautiful day:
(...) that unformed, voiceless, insignificant place where language can be revealed
-Foucault-
This presentation is a continuation of the artists residence for Aún en este mundo at the Tanzfabrik Berlin, from January 9 to 24, 2006.
