La Magia y El Secreto

4 May 2013
Exchange, Wolf Vostell Museo, Malpartida, Spain

 

Picture
A table with a neat heap of white A4 papers was placed in the center of the Cafeteria of the Museo.
The audience was sitting or standing at the periphery, leaving some space for me to move around the table.
I bared my left arm, took a black marker and drew a line over my arm and into my hand. Gripping the marker I quasi drew lines all over my body.
All the time moving around the table.
I went to the papers and wrote "La Magia", showed the paper, crumbled it and threw it on the floor.
On the next paper I drew some wave lines, held it on top of my head before crumbling and throwing it on the floor.
On and on it went, writing words or drawing something, eating a paper or ripping it, or just holding it in front of my pelvis, crumbling and throwing them in a circle.
After maybe twenty crumbled papers the circle was almost full. On the last paper I wrote "El Secreto".



Exchange

Exchange is an initiative of Isabel Leon and Ana Matey.
The idea for this event was that Bartolomé Ferrando and I both write a score of our planned performances. Bartolomés script was sent to Belen Cueto, mine to Koke Vegas. Belen used her own interpretation of the script for her performance before Bartolomé showed his. Koke made her own performance likewise.
