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.
