Lick-ing myself, 2009
Presented at the X Havanna Biennial, Proyecto Colateral Circo, 2009
This video performance, five minutes long, shows the artist in a room naked licking herself. While the artist immitaed animals behaviour, the piece talks about being more in touch with nature in the world of health and also about each person responsability about their own health. She debates the complexity of health issues from a wide spectrum that includes the social, the cultural, the phisical and the mental.

Vanishing ink, 2008
The piece Vanishing Ink talks about the loss of the past that inevitably occurs during the process of inmigration. During the piece the artist writes a letter to her grandmother Maria, as she were her grandfather,*she writes the letter she thinks he would have written if he would have written one) who abandon the Canary Islands in 1947 in a small boat toward the Caribbean and never wrote to his family again. The text of this letter is inspired by the testimonials of the senegalese inmigrants that today arrive by thousands to the islands also in small boats called pateras. The letter is written in invisble ink that it reveals itself through a process of heating' simbolizing the effort needed to get to know inmigrants past. The letter reads Dear Maria: Sorry I have not written you before, but the trip was so horrible..many of us died in the boat and we threw tem out for fear of infections, it took us three months, much longer that we have thought so we run out of food and water very early. On arrival we were very sick and others died in the hospital. When I was well enough to leave I had spent all our savings. Now I have a job, that barely covers my needs. I will not be able to send you and the children money, although I know how much you must need it. That is why I could never send you this letter.

The hand that rocks the craddle rules the world, 2007
Jaume Sabartes Proyect, 2005
The following images showed the public interventation realized in Barcelona. The project it was divided in three parts.
The first part it was realized in the morning and the whole square was marked with white tape, drawing the old buildings that were expropiated in 1996 and writing the names of the familes who used to live on them as well as details of the interior given by old neighbours.
The second part of the project was marked with yellow (simbolizing, benches and chairs) and green lines (simbolizing trees). This was the new plan of the City Hall. By the end we have the two plans overimposed.
Finally we set up a table in which we exhibit the new project to the neighbours given them the oportunity to participate through drawing or talking to us in the design of the future of the square. Finally we put together a table in which we exhibited the model for the new City Hall’s and we gave a chance to the public and neighbours to give their opinion and to partipate on the design of the new project, through writting, drawing or talking to the cameras.



Like a fish out of watwer, 2005
This performance “ The burial of the sardine“ refers to the ritual of renovation at the end of the carnival every year, in this occasion the artist varies its content allowing the conservation and renaissance of the fish. The sardine does not die but it is buried in salt.
