Undressing

02.06.2011 to 15.06.2011



Effýmia presented on the Transverse Space the installation "Undressing myself before the exile" on Wednesday June 1st 2011 during the second ´ace nite of the year.

ABOUT "UNDRESSING MYSELF BEFORE THE EXILE"

Over 50 pieces of clothing (represented in little photographs) are hunging at different points of the city. Each piece of clothing of wich I take off has attached a data or a little personal  anecdote of my stay in Argentina. The intervention itself is a testimony, a legacy, about leaving a mark of my way traveled wich at the same time has the mark of the place, of the others.

The project is the result and reflection of the time and space where I lived the most important stages where the own identity is constructed. At the time that people meet with my clothes, I'm getting naked in front of them by sharing an experience - an intimacy - giving them a clue about who I am: so anonymous as they are to me. Before doing this action, I first do an installation at ACE' Nite with part of those pieces (June 2011).
