PARALLEL REALITIES
THE EMPTINESS THAT COVERS THE BODY
United Arab Emirates, Sharjah, Sharjah Museum of Contemporary Art - Solo exhibition- "Parallel Realities", 2012
During our conversation on the 12th. Art Biennial of La Habana, my attention was powerfully drawn to the new videos and installations that she made for the Parallel Realities exhibitions shown on the Qingdao Art Biennial (China) and the HEART Contemporary Art Foundation (Italy). On the Asian region she displayed a video, with the same name, were a Latin woman (Rachel Robles) puts on and takes off a burka (dress) used by Middle-East cultures, an attire that becomes an icon that she will repeat, from now on, on her production. The audiences acquainted with Arabic costumes can visually perceive the issue Marisa Caichiolo points out. D. G. Alfonso
