2021
When we are born we are arbitrarily assigned a
homeland, a body, a gender. All these impositions
are susceptible to migration. When we leave a
country, that gesture forces us to let go of
almost everything: memories, frequent places,
embraces and the old idea of living definitively
in one place, one identity, one way of seeing.
Migration is a specter, the image is surrounded
by elements of childhood. This apparition is
presented as a delirium of the past: the light
of the mother's house, the window of the
adolescent room, mom's favorite flowers.
When we migrate, we cross a limbo in which
we are alive in some places and dead in others.
Espectros is a celebration of identity.
To the body as a refuge. To resistance.
To destiny. We are suspended dreams,
geographies and ambiguities.
