| About the Artist | |
I am concerned with subverting and challenging dominant mainstream views on race, gender and cultural identity. I often use myself in the work as a way to explore and attempt to come to terms with my own problematic racial, social and cultural status as an immigrant living on stolen land. |

La Rambla/The Promenade
2008 |
)
|
| When surveyed, Uruguayans responded that the most iconic and culturally defining urban site was the Rambla or the Promenade. When I returned to Uruguay for a holiday after a 10 year absence I had taken a series of images of the Rambla. These are some of the images I have used as a background to my gaping mouth. My mouth is not only the site from where I express my native language of castellano but it also becomes I site where I physically ingest cultural experience. I am so desperate to get back to my roots and my cultural heritage that I wish it was as easy as literally eating it.
La Rambla is part of a set of 6 images. They also form part of the broader series Memory & Silence |
