Site specific installation for the group exhibition f.ART dedicated to women artist commemorating the International Woman’s Day on 8th of March. The beginnig of a poem by Emily Dickinson is the headline of this piece: “Yo no soy Nadie. ¿Quien eres tú?” / “I am Nobody. Who are you?” . I dedicate this installation to all the women that find their way to feel free.

This installation represents the close dependency to water of diverse elements which, directly or indirectly, are part of the evolution and daily functioning of our society. 20 balloons filled with helium represent this fragil relationship and drag after some days the delicate cutouts down to the floor symbolizing the lack of balance and the collapse of the system.
A quote by Lord Byron (1788 - 1824) is written with papercut letters on 52 bottles:
“Till taught by pain, Men really know not what good water is worth.” Lord Byron. Don Juan (canto II, st. 84)

Exhibition history
2009/ Site-specific installation for Watermarks. NSDM - Werf, Amsterdam.
Curator: Mercedes Estarellas, Jeroen de Swaaf and Olaf de Swaaf.

This installation is a tribute to Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) and her poem 450 “Dreams are well, but Waking’s better…”.
The installation consisted of several elements all created with paper (papercuts, digital print on paper and origami flowers and butterflies)that were set up in a restaurated convent in the island of Mallorca (Claustro de Santo Domingo, Inca). The 28 m long exhibition space is isloated form the outside by thick walls and natural light comes in only through small windows alligned at one side of the space. These architectual charcteristics emphasized the content of this work dedicated to Emily Dickinson who lived inmensly retired in her house and dedicated to her inner life.

Ephemeral comes from the greek word ephemeros, literally “lasting only one day”.
Sexual pleasure is transitory, existing only briefly, and therefore unique every time.
