TOTI (Diana Olalde) was born in Mexico City in 1973. She's a selftaught art performer. She has participated in workshops given by Pancho López (2001,2002 and 2003), Elvira Santamaría (2002 and 2003), Refugio Solis (2003), Rosario García Crespo (2002), Francisco Casas (2002) and Andrea Ferreira (2001).

Objectives: To use the human body as a primitive way for the investigation of art performance. To use public places as an element for reflection.

Procedures: Two characters have been created for the exploration: TOTI the performer, the active form, and ALICE the passive form who records the impressions gotten as an analysis and an alternative project. This project will be shown in a web page -still being made.
