La Panel Blanca
2018 We located an old white panel with similar characteristics to the white panel that belonged to the State and was used to kidnap and disappear people during the darkest years of the war in Guatemala, we reshape it and exhibit it. The panel was exposed for a month and every afternoon at five in the afternoon was activated by poets, artists and interested people who gathered around to intervene or to read poetry and tell stories related to those years. Project carried out jointly with Juan Esteban Calderón. Commissioned and produced as part of the “Jornadas de la Memoria”, in honor of the missing writer Luis de Lion. Spanish Cooperation, Antigua Guatemala

2017 I do not want to put myself in others’ shoes I want to put myself in their dresses. Patricia, Saira, María de Jesús, Cindy, Sandra, Carmen, Ruth, Mindi, Florence, Kenia, Velvet, Flor de María, Karen. All of these women had families, jobs, dreams; they had plans for their lives. All of these women were silenced, violently ripped from this earth. All of these women were murdered in Guatemala. Each day around the world, hundreds of women die in violent ways, and dozens of them die in Guatemala. According to figures from INACIF (Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Forenses) and Fundación Sobrevivientes over a five year period 3,585 cases of murdered women were reported in Guatemala. Many of these crimes were committed by a woman’s partner or ex-partner. The majority of these cases remain in states of impunity. Presencia was a performance project over a period of thirteen days during which I wore the dresses of thirteen women who were murdered in Guatemala. I remained still each day for two hours, invoking each woman’s presence. This project was made possible thanks to the support of Fundación Sobrevivientes and that of the women’s family members, those who bore their loses with strength and never faltered in the fight for justice.

According to figures from INACIF (Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Forenses) and Fundación Sobrevivientes over a five year period 3,585 cases of murdered women were reported in Guatemala. Many of these crimes were committed by a woman’s partner or ex-partner. The majority of these cases remain in states of impunity. Presencia was a performance project over a period of thirteen days during which I wore the dresses of thirteen women who were murdered in Guatemala. I remained still each day for two hours, invoking each woman’s presence. This project was made possible thanks to the support of Fundación Sobrevivientes and that of the women’s family members, those who bore their loses with strength and never faltered in the fight for justice.

Ascención (Ascension)
2016 Ascensión is a private performance in the Church of Chiesa di San Matteo in Lucca, Italy. The performance is a tribute to the Q’eqchies women, to their fight, and to their courage. The 10 meter long perraje was handmade by Guatemalan Maya women specifically for this occasion. Special thanks for Moni Oseida for her support in achieving this project. Photography Veronica Alessi, Duccio Lucchesi. (San Matteo. Lucca, Italy. 2016)

La Intención
2016 … but woman is a wheedling and secret enemy. And that she is more perilous than a snare does not speak of the snare of hunters traps, but of devils. For men are caught not only through their carnal desires, when they see and hear women; for St. Bernard says: “Their face is a burning wind, and their voice the hissing of serpents”; but they also cast wicked spells on countless men and animals. And when it is said that her heart is a net, it speaks of the inscrutable malice which reigns in their hearts. And her hands are as bands for binding; for when they place their hands on a creature to bewitch it, then with the help of the devil, they perform their design.. – Malleus Maleficarum. Heinrich Kramer & Jacobus Sprenger. Germany, 1487. (The Malleus Maleficarum generally translated as Hammer of Witches is the most important and well known treaty of witchcraft, written by Catholic clergyman Heinrich Krämer (Henricus Institoris) and originally published in 1487 in the German city of Speyer. The book supports extermination of witches and for this he develops a detailed legal and theological theory that today is perceived as misogynistic). For one reason or another, diverse cultures have historically reacted in a collective manner to judge and accuse other individuals, generally out of fear From this fear they have repressed, attacked, punished and even murdered those who are suspected as guilty.. During the inquisition the witch hunt was a phenomenon of Central Europe where women were persecuted under false accusations; the single doubt, was already sufficient reason for their condemnation. Nowadays witch hunts occur in other ways. Curated by Giacomo Zaza. Production: Fondazione Fòcara di Novoli (Novoli, Lecce). Coordination: Claudio De Blasi, Loris Romano. Participants Claudio De Blasi, Mary Bolognese, Mimma Sozzo, Raffaella Arnesano, Patrizia Diamante, Giovanna de Nigris.

Nadie atraviesa la región sin ensuciarse (No One Goes Through the Region Without Getting Dirty)
2015 Single channel video 05:28 min Let’s not speak from the surface so -the wordwill have weight. In Central America, it is always spring, just as there is always conflict, always fighting. We live inundated, bogged down. To cross Central America you must cross death to reach life. Today, Miami is a city that watches and lives with new eyes, but thirty years ago, violent crime fueled by drug trafficking devastated the city. In the 1980s, Miami was still a swamp city. Transformation of the exhibition space into a swamp. I remain buried inside the mud with only my head showing, so that I can breathe. To reach me, the audience must cross the swamp, they must muddy their feet. The next day, the symposium Central What? was held, as part of the Dialogic CENTRALsolutions event. During the event, the participants also had to walk through the mud. Curator Roc Laseca. Photography Jorge Chirinos and Alan Gutiérrez. (Art Center South Florida. Miami, United States. 2015)

2015 Specially designed for the Botanical Garden of Palermo, it recovers the relationship with nature. The Garden for its particular position creates a link between the sea and the city, natural microcosm, universal garden where species of all origins coexist. It is here that I, together with a group of migrants of 20 different nationalities, cling to the roots of trees and plants that correspond to the origin of each of us. The performance focuses on the broader meaning of uprooting: and proposes a reflection based on the parallelism between plants around the world present in the Botanical Garden (many here illegally transported since the late eighteenth century) that today make up the landscape of the Garden – and foreign communities rooted in Palermo. The action aims to reflect on how the human being could live peacefully despite the differences, set roots in any context and grow in harmony with the environment and with other communities. No matter where we come from, we can live together because together we constitute a common origin that adds to diversity. Idea and coordination of: the Antonio Leone project.

The performance focuses on the broader meaning of uprooting: and proposes a reflection based on the parallelism between plants around the world present in the Botanical Garden (many here illegally transported since the late eighteenth century) that today make up the landscape of the Garden – and foreign communities rooted in Palermo. The action aims to reflect on how the human being could live peacefully despite the differences, set roots in any context and grow in harmony with the environment and with other communities. No matter where we come from, we can live together because together we constitute a common origin that adds to diversity. Idea and coordination of: the Antonio Leone project.

2013 Performance documentation Mostec, Slovenia – Under the corn fields, de ski slopes, and the Slovenian school playgrounds, skulls, bones, and teeth are found – the remains of thousands of people whose destinies have been lost for many decades. By Snjezana Vukic, The Associated Press. Down Under Subsoil Underworlds Underground There they hide, away from reality, away from our reality. We walk over their remains without realizing it, they are the land that sustain us, where we are really standing. In Guatemala, as in Slovenia, hundreds of mass graves occupy our territories. In Slovenia, as in Guatemala, we are standing over a hidden past, of which little is said, which we refuse to unearth.

Tierra (Land)
2013 For thirty-six years Guatemala lived through one of the bloodiest wars in recent history, a genocide that left more than 200,000 people dead. The army that fought against the guerrilla insurgency considered the indigenous people of Guatemala to be internal enemies that sympathized with the guerrilla. For thirty-six bloody years, the army fervently persecuted the indigenous population. With the intention of keeping the land (under the supervision of the tyrannical government), and the justification that the indigenous people were enemies of the homeland, the State put into practice the scorched earth strategy. This was a common and characteristic practice of the Guatemalan armed conflict. Troops of army soldiers and civil defense patrollers arrived in the indigenous communities and destroyed anything that might be used for survival: food, clothing, crops, houses, animals, etc. They burned everything. They raped, they tortured. They murdered. Many bodies were buried in mass graves that today make up part of the long list of evidence confirming the fact of the genocide. The aforementioned testimony tells of one of the ways in which the Army constructed the graves before murdering the indigenous people and throwing their bodies inside. The testimony was heard during the genocide trial against Ríos Montt and Sánchez Rodríguez. Guatemala 2013. Curator: Clare Caroline. Camera and photography: Bertrand Huet. Camera: Didier Martial. Operario: Pascal Pauger. Estudio Orta Assistants: Tiziana Abretti, Sofia Cavicchini, Andrea Rinaudo, Alberto Orta. Commissioned and produced by Lucy and Jorge Orta.

Piel de gallina (Goosebumps)
2012 Single channel video 15:51 min The phenomenon of goose bumps is caused by a tiny group of muscles called musculus erector pili. It is a natural response to stimuli such as cold or emotional stress. The erector muscle then contracts and the hair stand on end, and this pilomotor reflex occurs. My body lies inside a refrigerated mortuary cabinet. The public must open the cabinet and draw out the tray with my body on it to observe the effect of cold on my skin.

Necromonas
2012 The smell of death penetrates more than any pestilence, because it is the warning of near death. A signal. The smell enters through the orifices and leads us to the irrefutable fact of a near death. It is proven that some insects emit a mixture of chemicals before they die, a kind of universal “smell of death”. These chemicals, called necromonas, are made up of a mixture of acids that are emitted by bodies before death to signal it to other members of your community. Necromonas is a scent performance. My body remains naked, passive, on a base that hides the corpse of a decomposing pig. Curator: Blanca de la Torre. Video: Roberto Lucas. Photos: Emilio Prieto Pérez.

All of these women were silenced, violently ripped from this earth. All of these women were murdered in Guatemala. Each day around the world, hundreds of women die in violent ways, and dozens of them die in Guatemala. According to figures from INACIF (Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Forenses) and Fundación Sobrevivientes over a five year period 3,585 cases of murdered women were reported in Guatemala. Many of these crimes were committed by a woman’s partner or ex-partner. The majority of these cases remain in states of impunity. Presencia was a performance project over a period of thirteen days during which I wore the dresses of thirteen women who were murdered in Guatemala. I remained still each day for two hours, invoking each woman’s presence. This project was made possible thanks to the support of Fundación Sobrevivientes and that of the women’s family members, those who bore their loses with strength and never faltered in the fight for justice.

2016 … but woman is a wheedling and secret enemy. And that she is more perilous than a snare does not speak of the snare of hunters traps, but of devils. For men are caught not only through their carnal desires, when they see and hear women; for St. Bernard says: “Their face is a burning wind, and their voice the hissing of serpents”; but they also cast wicked spells on countless men and animals. And when it is said that her heart is a net, it speaks of the inscrutable malice which reigns in their hearts. And her hands are as bands for binding; for when they place their hands on a creature to bewitch it, then with the help of the devil, they perform their design.. – Malleus Maleficarum. Heinrich Kramer & Jacobus Sprenger. Germany, 1487. (The Malleus Maleficarum generally translated as Hammer of Witches is the most important and well known treaty of witchcraft, written by Catholic clergyman Heinrich Krämer (Henricus Institoris) and originally published in 1487 in the German city of Speyer. The book supports extermination of witches and for this he develops a detailed legal and theological theory that today is perceived as misogynistic). For one reason or another, diverse cultures have historically reacted in a collective manner to judge and accuse other individuals, generally out of fear From this fear they have repressed, attacked, punished and even murdered those who are suspected as guilty.. During the inquisition the witch hunt was a phenomenon of Central Europe where women were persecuted under false accusations; the single doubt, was already sufficient reason for their condemnation. Nowadays witch hunts occur in other ways. Curated by Giacomo Zaza. Production: Fondazione Fòcara di Novoli (Novoli, Lecce). Coordination: Claudio De Blasi, Loris Romano.

2015 Single channel video 05:28 min Let’s not speak from the surface so -the wordwill have weight. In Central America, it is always spring, just as there is always conflict, always fighting. We live inundated, bogged down. To cross Central America you must cross death to reach life. Today, Miami is a city that watches and lives with new eyes, but thirty years ago, violent crime fueled by drug trafficking devastated the city. In the 1980s, Miami was still a swamp city. Transformation of the exhibition space into a swamp. I remain buried inside the mud with only my head showing, so that I can breathe. To reach me, the audience must cross the swamp, they must muddy their feet. The next day, the symposium Central What? was held, as part of the Dialogic CENTRALsolutions event. During the event, the participants also had to walk through the mud. Curator Roc Laseca. Photography Jorge Chirinos and Alan Gutiérrez. (Art Center South Florida. Miami, United States. 2015)Dessert

2015 Specially designed for the Botanical Garden of Palermo, it recovers the relationship with nature. The Garden for its particular position creates a link between the sea and the city, natural microcosm, universal garden where species of all origins coexist. It is here that I, together with a group of migrants of 20 different nationalities, cling to the roots of trees and plants that correspond to the origin of each of us. The performance focuses on the broader meaning of uprooting: and proposes a reflection based on the parallelism between plants around the world present in the Botanical Garden (many here illegally transported since the late eighteenth century) that today make up the landscape of the Garden – and foreign communities rooted in Palermo. The action aims to reflect on how the human being could live peacefully despite the differences, set roots in any context and grow in harmony with the environment and with other communities. No matter where we come from, we can live together because together we constitute a common origin that adds to diversity. Idea and coordination of: the Antonio Leone project.

2013 Performance documentation Mostec, Slovenia – Under the corn fields, de ski slopes, and the Slovenian school playgrounds, skulls, bones, and teeth are found – the remains of thousands of people whose destinies have been lost for many decades. By Snjezana Vukic, The Associated Press. Down Under Subsoil Underworlds Underground There they hide, away from reality, away from our reality. We walk over their remains without realizing it, they are the land that sustain us, where we are really standing. In Guatemala, as in Slovenia, hundreds of mass graves occupy our territories. In Slovenia, as in Guatemala, we are standing over a hidden past, of which little is said, which we refuse to unearth.

2013 For thirty-six years Guatemala lived through one of the bloodiest wars in recent history, a genocide that left more than 200,000 people dead. The army that fought against the guerrilla insurgency considered the indigenous people of Guatemala to be internal enemies that sympathized with the guerrilla. For thirty-six bloody years, the army fervently persecuted the indigenous population. With the intention of keeping the land (under the supervision of the tyrannical government), and the justification that the indigenous people were enemies of the homeland, the State put into practice the scorched earth strategy. This was a common and characteristic practice of the Guatemalan armed conflict. Troops of army soldiers and civil defense patrollers arrived in the indigenous communities and destroyed anything that might be used for survival: food, clothing, crops, houses, animals, etc. They burned everything. They raped, they tortured. They murdered. Many bodies were buried in mass graves that today make up part of the long list of evidence confirming the fact of the genocide. The aforementioned testimony tells of one of the ways in which the Army constructed the graves before murdering the indigenous people and throwing their bodies inside. The testimony was heard during the genocide trial against Ríos Montt and Sánchez Rodríguez. Guatemala 2013. Curator: Clare Caroline. Camera and photography: Bertrand Huet. Camera: Didier Martial.

2012 Single channel video 15:51 min The phenomenon of goose bumps is caused by a tiny group of muscles called musculus erector pili. It is a natural response to stimuli such as cold or emotional stress. The erector muscle then contracts and the hair stand on end, and this pilomotor reflex occurs. My body lies inside a refrigerated mortuary cabinet. The public must open the cabinet and draw out the tray with my body on it to observe the effect of cold on my skin.

2012 The smell of death penetrates more than any pestilence, because it is the warning of near death. A signal. The smell enters through the orifices and leads us to the irrefutable fact of a near death. It is proven that some insects emit a mixture of chemicals before they die, a kind of universal “smell of death”. These chemicals, called necromonas, are made up of a mixture of acids that are emitted by bodies before death to signal it to other members of your community. Necromonas is a scent performance. My body remains naked, passive, on a base that hides the corpse of a decomposing pig. Curator: Blanca de la Torre. Video: Roberto Lucas. Photos: Emilio Prieto Pérez.Falso León
