Words fail me, 2017. Video-installation: Performative wooden sculpture with written poetry by Raúl Zurita and Alejandra Pizarnik, 300 x 200 cm;
video-performance projected on wall.
At Tabacalera Cantera, 2017, Tabacalera Promoción del Arte, Madrid, Spain, 2017.

Words fail me was made at Tabacalera Promoción del Arte in Madrid, thanks to a residency grant in 2017. The project consisted of constructing a blanket of wooden modules sewn together and transferring fragments of poetry by Raúl Zurita and Alejandra Pizarnik onto these modules. The texts spoke of deep wounds of the soul and desperation to find meaning in life. The sculpture was then used to record a series of performances that were projected onto the wall where they were filmed.
