Fantasma, El Basilisco Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2007
with Lucrecia Troncoso (RA) and Gabriel Sierra (CO)
Fantasma = Phantom or Ghost
Entering a new and unknown place for the first time is connected with an extraordinary sharpening of the senses, whispers mutate into resounding laughter though in Argentina is whispering not a national habit.
The knowledge to stay only for two months at El Basilisco made my preparations for the residency easy. As usual in a rush to the airport in Berlin, I even forget my scissors but arrived with the well prepared personal will to break my artistic habit and working procedure, I decided to take this stay as an artistic field of experiments.
Preparing two pieces of work, both were growing visibly day by day organically throughout my stay and both pieces will likely end with what nature instincts predict, they disappear from earth...(though the wall drawing will be covered over the years layer by layer with white paint)
