TEXT OF THE ACTION
Deja que el sudor salga corriendo por la depresión que va al mar.
Otra vez tú, peregrino en mis labios.
Te encaminas y remarcas tus pasos de retorno.
¡Cómo caminas cimbrado!
Me dices que dormirás ahora y que tus ojos se apagan en el mediterráneo,
que los tiempos se han cruzado
y que llevas un dolor porque no te detienes.
Se tragaron tus ojos los ojos míos.
No aprendimos antes que las miradas nuestras traerían verdor.
Dejarlo otra vez no parecerá razonable mañana.
Pero deja que parta yo ahora.
Me dices que ya cruzaron tus ojos la frontera de regreso, eso es todo.
Volver atrás no tiene mérito.
Deja que se calle la aurora si yo no estoy.
Deja que los jamases se atasquen en nuestras bocas,
Que la eternidad se vuelva de lluvia,
Que la niebla sea la última sobre la arena.
Deja que por veces estemos tristes porque fuimos tan felices.
Deja que la noche me devuelva montada en la espuma de las olas débiles.
Deja que todo sea extraño.
Deja que siempre sea de ti.
Deja que el aroma de la cena sea sólo vino y canela.
Deja tras de ti mi pelo rizado sobre el viento.
Deja la luz encendida y déjame de rojo un beso tuyo.
by Sara Malinarich
*Collaborative work in memoriam of the woods and life’s burned during the fires of Galicia, 2006.
A WORLD WITHOUT WORLD
Text by Vicente Pastor and Ernesto García (Asturias)
Wooden columns appear on image, beginning of a house in construction, symbol of home and settling in a place, any place. The house, during the action, it is being built beam by beam. Once built, a strong gale wiped out the place, taking with it the house and the illusion.
Culture and fake, reality and virtuality, daily life and fiction.
Modifier of spaces, of time and distances… Reality has become a naked and vulnerable simulation of itself.
IRONIK
Sara Malinarich (Cuenca)
Dress as an executive, the artist is ready to work in an office desk, however, inside her briefcase; there are only sheets to iron. These sheets are her resume and while the artist iron them, from Asturias, the artist Vicente Pastor makes the action of the destruction of an installation symbolizing home.
This action is a critique to the situation of many emigrants, which even though professionally prepared, do not find a job in the field they studied. In the case of the women, judgment goes further, alluding to the inequality and machismo in working activities.

PRENSA
Sara looks for Sara
This teleshared action makes reference to the relationship between memory and identity. In an evocative way, this work talks about personal memories; the ones that are shared and pass through the ones around us.
This piece proposes the existence of the individual in its context and its situation of belonging, as long as the ones around it can also account for the truthfulness of the memories and merits that the subject says are his.
Under the subject Migraciones para un sueño, this work reflects upon what gets lost of a person when it migrates and how, through memory, it looks itself in the middle of the anonymity, sometimes impotent.
This teleshared action could be considered an action-installation where the artist, Sara Malinarich, is present “inside” a computer screen, which is at the same time seated in a rocket chair. Behind the rocket chair, there is a projection where a video made by Vicente Pastor and Ernesto García can be seen. This video is being send at that moment via Internet through a videoconference system. The video shows a route made in one day of a life and works as a context to articulate the memories and wonderings that Sara gives to things and people that show in the video.
Sara is looking for herself in another, in the route of her action partners. The artist- also an emigrant in Spain- looks for herself, for the times she couldn’t be sure of her past; the one that doesn’t exist in the memory of the ones surrounding her at the moment. Alienated, Sara is looking for Sara, as if it was someone else.

Imagine various scenarios, a body that could travel through the cables of the net across France and Spain, another one through Spain and France…
Any change you say! However, one is certainly there, in front of your eyes, living. Imagine that these bodies find each other in a twist of the connection, transforming themselves, constructing themselves, modeling themselves… Like in a merging of these scenarios to create in each place a dance of images and sounds.

"Recovery of a painted memory" is the document of a telematics action done by the artists Sara Malinarich (from Paris) and María Domínguez Alba (from Cuenca) through web cameras in real time. This video, divided in two screens, shows a teleshared action made between these two artists: in the upper part we see the scene produced in Paris and in the lower part the result of an intervention made simultaneously through software, of the same scene, made by Alexander Berthier at the time of the action.
00:30 – 00:40, 11 may 2006, Paris + Cuenca
This proposal shows a collaborative work where two artists in two different geographical locations meet on a digital base in real time. Using a videoconference system, the participants of this work appoint each other to meet at a certain time to make this experimentation.
None of them know what the other will do, but they observe each other in the screens and each of them gives the other a context to create. Like one dreaming the other. An action such as putting a clay mask on the face can have strange connotations when the other artist, from far away intervenes this act changing its meaning, however, this is reciprocal.
Somehow, delocalize scenarios and place them together in a digital platform means to get basic elements for a real communication or connection, like cognition and intuition. The challenge of any collaborative action is to be open to fragmentation, cloning and flowing for a time with no shape that is the flow of information in the Internet.
The ways of life in the net, the spaces for action and the ways of connecting through electricity assume our acts through light and we have the thought left about which is the real platform in a collaborative telematic action.

"Blind date" is a teleshared action, part of the INTACT project, proposed and directed by Sara Malinarich.
This is a collaborative work between the artists Sara Malinarich and Aida Mañez that makes a connection through Internet in which both artists meet for the first time. A relationship in the distance, that begins by working together.
Naked in her home bathroom, in Cuenca, Spain, Sara Malinarich reveals her body through painting, while from Valencia, Aida Mañez watches her, observes her and wants to touch her.
Cita a ciegas incorporates in this action, the body of the artist as a medium for the other artist; whom, from a distance, is not a context but a part of her interlocutor in real time.
Head and body, two artists fragmenting and traveling through the net to form a body, to complete each other, to communicate and create together in space, distance and at the same time.

STAY IN PLACE is a connection moment between two friends through Chat by Internet. In this sense, a teleshared space arises between them when both maintain a telematic talk by this channel.
This scene is captured by Sara Malinarich, with the intention to trap this spontaneous action in which both achieve to articulate a narration in the context of an unique and unrepeatable situation.
The woman on the upper window is Maren Pimstein, located in Santiago of Chile at 14:32 hrs. of June 12 of the 2006; the another one is Sara Malinarich, located in Cuenca, Spain at 19:32hrs of that same day. [Read more..]
"Stay in Place reveals the resurgence of small complicities between two friends in a chat session while the screen acts as a mirror of oneself and the other, and makes us reflect about personal relationships in the presence of new technologies."
