BOND

Performance
2019
Time variable, in deependence of the place that has been visited.
Pitchfork.


Bond is an action in which it is intended to live during an indefinite time under training and use of a pitchfork for humans. The everyday spaces of the artist change because of the situation of cohabitation with the object. Bond is a ligature, but it is also a tie. It can be a material image or not, tangible or intangible, and still the bond that binds us can exist.

Bond binds me, trains me, and unconsciously guides me in a form of behaviour. By revealing a hidden power that operates on me as an individual who responds to the social needs of the moment. I am assuming an attitude of a contemporary slave, which is an image already hidden from everyday life but which continues to haunt us like a ghost. I establish a link between architectural language, the language of the countryside and social behaviour.
The pitchfork does not allow me to escape, neither me, nor those animals that are taught in the countryside not to take advantage of the cracks that lead them to possible freedom. It is a reminder that I physically belong to something else. With a pilgrim attitude I visit the centres of power that train me as an individual who belongs to the slave line of contemporary ideologies (the dialogue is much more open, it is not limited to Cuba).
