Dialogue, 2000. An impossible conversation between complementary and totally opposite ways of seeing the world. A video is projected on a corner, or between a wall and a door. It is a symmetrical image (2 chairs, two tables), divided by the junction of the wall (or by the frame of the door). In one of the sides of the image I walk talking to myself, as if I was trying to understand something. After a time I switch sides and repeat all previous movements. A different text is recited when my image is projected in each side of the wall. The text consists of an assemblage of passages from the Brazilian artist Lygia ClarkÕs personal journal in the 60s, and passages from the novel "the Secret Agent," by Joseph Conrhad. Among the possible dichotomies suggested by the juxtapositions (woman X man; Latin X Anglo-Saxon; artist X political activist), a third discourse is being constructed about how art and artists can interfere in politics and daily life.
