…when the invisible punishing machine is everywhere…The Weight I Carry with Me
2010-Present
Fieldwork, Survival Kits, Conversation Pieces, Installations, Ephemeral Encounters and Actions to transform the weight I carry from witnessing and studying the invisible punishing machine
Presently, I am developing a multifaceted long-term dialogical fieldwork called …when the invisible punishing machine is everywhere…The Weight I Carry with Me. It consists of organizing nomadic encounters and creating para-fictional actions as paradoxical remedies to interrogate intimately how invisible punishment, alienation and social-urban control in the terrain of the USA has affected my family, my friends, me and the community at large who have suffered the invisible effects of state control, incarceration and inequality. In other words, it is a kind of counter narrative that seeks to transform the weight I carry from studying and witnessing the invisible punishing machine that resides deep inside my body and in the habitus of control.
