Dog Man Domesticate
Performance
Primera Bienal Internacional de Performance DEFORMES 2006
Museo de Arte Contemporáneo MAC Quinta Normal
3 November 2006, Santiago Chile
In this recent series, I work with a loose structure in order to respond more spontaneously to different situations and contexts. The free-form nature allows me to play with open-ended vision of identity and social relationships. The actions provide an image for contemplation. The process of making rituals in contemporary ceremony is a search for discovery of self in society, society in self. Our crises sometimes manifest as madness on the outside however there is an attempt to maintain the peace within.
In Santiago are many stray dogs. Looking like a European city, it is quite surprising that this is tolerated in Chile. One finds the performance art event being presented in the charming museum premises also a kind of domestication process. I decided to include actions relating my domestication as an artist to that of the domestication of dogs in human society..
