This publication serves as a constellation of documents, instances, and encounters dealing with one persistent problem that demands collective attention: the imperial legacy ossified within cultural institutions. Through this collection, we invite readers to join us in the process of unlearning, that is, we invite them to question the presumed factuality of institutional claims, to imagine and enact alternative realities, and to participate in the ongoing work of dismantling imperial legacies in cultural institutions and beyond.

The poetics of landscape – presentation (2018)

42 slides
Language: (mainly) English
Published by Gauss PDF (New York)

The poetics of landscape – presentation is a poetry book in the form of a slide presentation. This digital book makes reference to the beginnings of public presentations, to the uncomfortable moment when the presenter connects the computer to the projector and his/her/their desktop becomes visible to the audience. It is also a reflection on the forced romanticism on digital appliances, a kind of ode to the screen as a window to the “sublime”, and a photographic chronology of daylight. Each of the 42 slides that compose the book presents a found text that is defined as a poem and that is transcribed in the “Notes” in order to clarify how the slides/poems should be read out loud.

Exercises in Style (2017)

co-written with Ana María Montenegro Jaramillo

56 pages
Language: English
Self-published

Exercises in Style consisted of a film in four versions that took place at StoreFrontLab (San Francisco) on November 12, 19, 26 and December 3 of 2016 right before sunset. All the scenes of the film were live video feeds of public and private security cameras located in the Bay Area and accessible online, which were edited by the artists in real time. Each screening therefore resulted in an unique and unrepeatable 25-minutes-long fictional film: what the spectator saw in the film was happening in front of those external cameras at that exact moment in that specific location. Throughout the film, timed subtitles accompanied the live footage, functioning as an omniscient narrator telling the story of three women on a Saturday evening. This publication is a selection of some of the film stills from each one of the versions.
