Body land was a performative conference, developed during the Circle of Fine Arts Performance and Politics Laboratory, that related botanical archives to documents from human forced disappearances in Colombia. It was built through the metaphor of
a terrarium, mixing different papers, prints, plants, soil, objects, and a video-essay on the stage.

Based on a letter written during the event to José Celestino Mutis (leader of one of the most known botanical expedition in Colombia) and a list of verses with the word politics, a random reading was carried out to produce a polysemic and murmuring discourse to reflect about Colombian state violence on the territory. This speech sought to question the scientific classification that has dominated the political institutions in Colombia, using a personal, poetic, and uncontrolled language to suggest diverse meanings.

Year: 2023.
Description: Performance, video-essay and fanzine, result of the Performance and Politics laboratory, organized by Jaime Vallaure and Andrea Greppi.

 

> Public presentation, Circle of Fine Arts of Madrid (2023). 

In addition to the performance, I made a fanzine called "To transform the archive into a terrarium", which relates archives and edition with the territory.
