Initially
an experiment carried out in my own bathroom, this piece is
an intervention in each person's own self-iimage, which most
commonly originates from the mirror in his or her own bathroom.
The graphic that indicates the required size of the head and
the two footprints are plotter vinyl pieces to be applied
in each person's own home, in accordance with their personal
reflection. The drawing comes from the application form for
a VISA to visit the US. |

In
order to transmit the spirit of the piece in the context of
the show Extranjerías, it was decided that a
replica of my own bathroom would be constructed, where visitors
could enter and close the door behind them, thus offering
a private experience of the piece. |

In the
context of this show, the limit between the private living
space on the first floor of the house and the exhibition space
on the ground floor needed to be delineated. The intervention
consisted of a wall made out of the small windows from the
front side of envelopes (generally carrying utility bills
or bank information) that purport to offer privacy only to
simultaneously violate it by showing what is inside. |
