Work Description:
|
Artist statement: My installation recalls the atmosphere of a birthday party. It also presents a surrogate for the anxiety and fear that permeates the experience of undocumented and mixed-status families living in the United States. As a person born into these circumstances, I reorient this celebration to bring attention to the looming possibility of removal.
My installation suggests what remains hidden within domestic spaces. Upon close observation, the handmade paper decorations that adorn the room reveal that they are obsessively bitten. These decorations form an engulfing mass, one that is both familiar and surreal. Together with audio and video, the installation documents time and presence, even when absence seems imminent. // Mi instalación recuerda el ambiente de una fiesta de cumpleaños. También presenta un sustituto de la ansiedad y el miedo que impregna la experiencia de las familias indocumentadas y de estados mixtos que viven en los Estados Unidos. Como persona nacida en estas circunstancias, reorientó esta celebración para llamar la atención sobre la posibilidad inminente de ser retirado. Mi instalación sugiere lo que queda oculto dentro de los espacios domésticos. Al observarlos de cerca, los adornos de papel hechos a mano que adornan la habitación revelan que están mordidos obsesivamente. Estas decoraciones forman una masa envolvente, una que es familiar y surrealista. Junto con el audio y el video, la instalación documenta el tiempo y la presencia, incluso cuando la ausencia parece inminente.
