Their Families Are Sleeping

Super 8mm film with soundscape

Pulsing waves reveal shimmering lights.
A ghost moving like water shines through the threshold.
You hold the horizon in deceit.
The colour remains the same.

The Lost Olympics
(International Worker’s Olympiads 1936)

Mixed-media Installation, assemblages, video, sculpture

The International Worker’s Olympiads were born in the early 20th century as an event running in contrast to the bourgeois elitism of the Olympic Games. Their strength rested in bringing together workers from different nations competing under the same soil and foregoing all displays of nationalism, extreme competitiveness and obsessive focus on record-breaking. Collectivity and inclusivity, the pillars of this chosen shift in platform rose to international visibility in empowerment against oppressive socio-political circumstances.

Through the clairvoyance of Pink & Teal as the colors of loss, I have unearthed original items showcased in this fictional archive from the unfulfilled International Worker’s Olympiads of 1936. This color theory conjures the hope that this sight and these artifacts from nearly a hundred years ago will push us back to full circle once again. Fabricated evidence of their games are brought back to life in an archival setting anachronically overlapping the quest for recognition of the Sex Magick Warriors.

Fruity Armor

Sculpture, fruit wrappings and yarn.

This sculpture was made modelled over a 7 foot tall body. Only two materials were used: pear wrappings collected from fruit stands and markets, and yarn as sewing material connecting every panel. This second skin, highlights the fragility of the skin of the pear, an object that needs to be protected for commercial purposes. Styrofoam wrappings are fragile themselves and provide the protection they were designed for only when carefully manipulated. Transposed to the human figure, this stryrofoam armor becomes chainmail.

A suit of armor made of fruit wrappings creates the lightest armor, the most delicate and fragile attempt to shield the body, to wrap the skin, to protect the sensitive. A visual paradox of protection, sensitivity and fragility.

The Fruity Armor when seen hollow and unworn resembles a husk, as if someone had outgrown their exoskeleton, or proof of a reassembled stiched human or even a ghostly figure when suspended, affected by even the slightest shift in wind.

Physical Memories Psychological Strains

Video 15min

The handheld action of recording becomes an active agent archiving memories, it safeguards the physical. Details in this object capsule become blurred and the associations of items are left to be decided by the viewer. Subconscious connections are manifested in this careful accumulation. The delicate quality of this collection is contrasted by the appearance of items related to dramatic moments of the past. Mother's plaster casted teeth, cornhusks, personality test results, weighted floral foam and hospital admission bracelets are amongst the things present this recorded installation.

A Single Generation / Last Seen

Sculpture: film negatives, insulation foam, lamps, neck brace, gauze.

Found film negatives from the 20th century and materials used for human protection, body cushioning and sound and temperature isolation. These family found negatives remain exposed above the lights, without efforts made to preserve them.

Polytraumatisme

Installation: photography, autopsy report, sublimation printed shirt, paint and wax thread.

Research project questioning forensic evidence and real life conflicting details from a missing person case. Exploring grief, unfinished business and fading memories. Who has the right to dissapear?

La Vida Nunca es Dulce

Mixed-Media Photography: flies, pins, pig’s blood, mold, plastic bags, bee”s wax, wood, mesh, thread,

Portraits to question the praise of the “tortured artist” trope.
All of these creative individuals have allegedly died by their own means. The materials attached to their portraits complicate or obscure the narratives attached to their lives and the value of their creative labour.
