De una memoria escrita con sangre.

Abstract

De Una Memoria Escrita Con Sangre is a work built from research-creation in which we start from a personal story that triggers the exploration of concepts such as death, pain and memory, the relationship I have with them and our conceptions about those as a society. Blood is a material that becomes recurrent in artistic practice, finding relevance and consistency when adding it into my work, and finding it in this sacred liquid the condensation of all my artistic and conceptual interests: life, death, memory and pain. Blood is a fundamental living tissue for our body, which in its composition contains protection against physical injuries and organic contamination. Also called spirit´s food, which has been gifted with power since ancient times in our history: blood calms demons, blood as an offering to the gods, blood cures diseases. This is how this tissue becomes a symbol within my creative language and this is the main material of this artistic piece. This work is consider as a In Situ , tries from performance and installation, to redefine these crucial concepts, which we usually associate with something negative. As time goes by, all our stories end in collective stories, which beyond of touching ourselves individually, disrupt us as a society. The following pages show the process and countless thoughts that surround the work, from the body and space preparation to the collection of used blood.
