The origin of this performance was accidental, within Javier Machimbarrena's dialogue project, the encounter was raised through two works in which the link that united them was silence, empty silence and full silence.
Two works that, when removed from their original Dialogue context, Javier Machimbarrena's studio, and thanks to the open and mutable nature of the work that was transferred to the Cruz Museum hall Herrera allowed_cc781905-5cde -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_that what was initially a dialogue between two works and two artists, turned into a dialogue between three works and three artists, one of them in "off" .
The third work was constituted as escultura-instalación and was carried out "in situ" in a performance session with Javier Machimbarrena, sculpture-installation, Damián Gálvez, soundscape and Karina Zothner, action painting - installation.
In this session we address a mutable process of growth, resilience, discovery, struggle and colonization. A process from the poetic metaphor and from the absolute complicity. In a supposed state of dissociation, we transit, discover, colonize and build the necessary life as a fruit and as a promise. Life through effort and why not, through tears.
In every process of growth and change there is pain and there is great effort. Nothing is free.
Due to its character of resilience, this work was presented in the individual exhibition ERODED EARTH RESILIENCE. (Read more)
