La semana pasada fuimos a León a presentar una de las últimas publicaciones de la colección Beste, El observatorio de Elssie Ansareo. El recibimiento por parte del centro de documentación del musac fue inmejorable, un millón de gracias a Araceli Corbo. La conversación a tres bandas diseñador-artista-edición con las interlocuciones de Laura, Pedro, Araceli, Manuel y compañía lo hicieron de lo más agradable.
El pasado viernes 7 de junio, como si de una sesión de trabajo cualquiera se tratase Imanol Amayra y yo charlamos sobre El observatorio. La diferencia, es que en esta ocasión no estábamos solos, ni en su despacho, estábamos inmejorablemente rodeados de cómplices y amigos, por un momento éramos nosotros los observados, hablábamos sobre la experiencia del trabajo hecho, de los puntos álgidos del proyecto, el arco de la histeria,
la somatización, el dolor... En esta ocasión tampoco Borja Iribarnegarai se haría cargo de organizar mis fotografías y nuestras palabras. Porque El observatorio ya tiene vida propia, aquí el registro de la velada.
Thanks Pablo Marte for reminding me of Peter Weiss and Thank you consonni, for your work and for inviting me. I Believe I'm / it's fake, I Believe I'm / it's for Real in Memory we Trust. is an attempt to convey an experience of to suddenly physically perceive the extent of the personal responsibility of a political situation and to discover that the political involvement previously been superstructure, a construction, abstract.
The work is a proposal on how an exploration of a how can be driven forward. By trying a kind of a materiality of democracy as a method to form words to form a will or to form a will and then words.
Because:
I thought it all began with an existing desire, then the words would come that drafted the document and then finally we would manifest it and gain satisfaction or not.
But it has not worked; I'm trying a different order.
I start with the grip on the megaphone, and tries out how an amplified voice sounds.
I go in a protest march and feel the power of collective bodies, in public space, walking in the same direction.
I managed to walk in the same direction.
And we saw and heard that we have not yet formulated words for what we want. And this made us feel a need to form the words, the actions, and the will.
The vulnerability of the hilarious situation -not to have words on what needs to be said
-is absurd, humorous.
We rock like newly hatched chickens.
I also want to tell that I have taken the word political in my mouth too many times recently and that my fingers too cleverly finds P, O, L, I, T, I, and C on the keyboard.
Best,
Johanna
