It stays below Life (Traces - 03/2023)


I present a video recorded with my cell phone where I appear reciting a text in a poetic format that I authored with a neutral shot. The image takes place on a clear white background. I replicated the sound track of my voice reciting in the background as a reverberation, realizing the rebound that the song has on me. The project deals with how I am experiencing close and recent deaths on a daily basis, I tell my physical sensations from a parallelism that I am observing in the cycles of the plants in the garden that is at the back of my home. Among the themes that appear in the work I can name: Loneliness and the permanence of emotional pain, human and plant death and finally the fear of bodily scrapping in death itself.

It stays below Life


I feed this plant whose name I don't remember. Does it get enough water?

Burden. No water. Not air. Drowning.

Water falls from the hose. I would like more water pressure. I would like to be sure that the water reaches it.

I feed each plant. I don't feed everyone equally.

I am aware of this vegetation, it is not mine, I live in it

It will transcend me, it dies or sometimes it is resurrected or it was latent.

The water does not penetrate strongly. I want it to penetrate hard. Spend water-pay to feed life

Friday 17th

Plants need soil to be alive and my dead need soil to be dead.

I would like to know how they are

the path of ants

the color of the dead

The earth jumps at my feet when I wet it, I don't know if it's the drops that come down or the ants that go up my leg.

There are a lot of overlaps. Grass below. grass above

Soil, little things, petals from another side

It is soft to sit on, but it makes my clothes wet or dirty

I have to talk about death, which, unlike this garden or piece of land where I live, is mine.

I can't take them off

I have them stuck

they are inside me

death has another color

low

stays down from life

it tangles, but in the end it falls

I saw it.
