Apnea

Apnea. Territorio Mar-íntimo¨ is a work pursuing, by contrast narrative, a reflection on the relationship between identity and migration. Through this piece, I search in the story an immersion towards intimacy. The idea is to set an identitary cartography connecting experience with bureaucratic context and political territories.

SINOPSIS

Apnea. Territorio Mar-íntimo is an installation consisting of a video projection and seven volumetric objects formed by a base and a telephone made of plaster. Each object, has an audio device, by which it can be listen the voice of people narrating small fragments taken from diaries written by the creator of Apnea, between 1985 and 1995. These are friends and family, that through their voices outline the identity of the writer of the diaries.

The video projection shows the artist in a beach, telling her personal details according to her legal/administrative situation as an immigrant. The idea is to confront two kinds of narration simultaneously about the same person. One of them focusing on the bureaucracy and the other on memory and identity tell by others.

This piece, made in 2008, is built in South America, specifically in Chile, country of birth of the creator of Apnea and where she travels to find the elements alive and documents that form this work.
