UMANA POETICA (2017)
Curated by Giacomo Zaza. Daunia Land Art Residency, Monte Sant’Angelo (IT). Intervention on work by Lazaro Saavedra, approx. 30x30cm. Hair, turmeric, blood.
Invited to work in an ancient grotto, I revived the feminine origin of art as performed by prehistoric women by blowing red clay on cave walls, leaving the marks of their hads – and thus of their identity and presence. I enhanced the feminine aspect by placing a lock of my hair in the heart of the work, along with a drop of blod that Làzaro Saavedra and I drew from our fingers, in a contemporary version of the blood-tie ritual.
