    MONUMENTO

This performance comprises body, space and sound, and takes the form of a two-metre-high, flesh-and-blood architectural structure made of bone, skin, textiles, hair, singing, tides and visible technical systems. Support structures, light grids and cables function as a floating skeleton, while human gatherings form muscular masses interwoven with rigid platforms that resemble bones. Like historical monuments, the structure exercises territoriality and embodies memory, knowledge and cultural perception. Through cumbia, peasant songs and the gathering of shells at low tide, it pays tribute to displaced ways of thinking in southern Latin America during German colonial processes, evoking the memory of a pre-colonial ancestor cult.
