-Personal work-

Nubarrón de casa is a performance filmed in November 2020, part of the work I did from the exhibition This Way at the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design in Costa Rica.

The video is an exercise about translating a digital 3D element (based on the path I do daily at home) into a physical space).

The title is Nubarrón de casa, which means a dark cloud inside a house.

The performance started as a writing exercise about the confinement during COVID-19, when it was not allowed to go outside and the only walkable space was the bedroom or other parts of the house.

Sometimes, my knees hurt. Maybe it’s because I’m staying still and don’t go for a walk. My wrists hurt from flexing them for too many hours. My face hurts. I’m crying too much. It feels like a balloon filled with water. I can barely open my eyes because they are too swollen. My chest hurts. My heart feels wrinkled. My body hurts while I pee. My body is filled with water; Mar says I must let the water come out.
