2- The Classroom. When the visitor enters the space, s/he sees chairs arranged
in a school classroom fashion turned to the entrance wall, in which slides
are being projected. The slide projection resembles a language class, with
direct juxtapositions of words and images. The difference is that the meanings
proposed are very far from the daily use, even if they are more appropriate.
Some examples: a- A Latin American City: Quebec. [Since the French are LatinÉ]
b- Americans: Fidel Castro, Billie Holliday, Frida Khalo, PelŽ [American is
anyone born in the American continentÉ] c- A North-American: Pancho-Villa;etc
A video is projected at the same time on the same spot and it is only visible,
at a glance, in the intermission between slides, or if a visitor blocks the
slide projection. When that happens, it is possible to see the video projection
inside the silhouette/shadow that the participant cuts on the slide projection
frame.
