Homework
Festival Home Sweet Home – Werkstatt der Kulturen, Berlin
2010
“Homework” was a response to the thematic of the Festival Home sweet home. The performance process was based on the memory of the house. I built a house of clay where I took from inside a metaphor of the inside of my body in the form of several objects. Between them there was 8 barbies, 1 heart, 1 bone, an audio tape, a money box and a letter that i sent to myself with memories, specially produced for the moment of the performance.
