This is from the Camera Walk I did during PerfoChoroní V. It was a spontaneous act inspired by the chaos of the night, crowds and noise.
Esto es de cuando caminé con una cámara sobre mi ojo durante el PerfoChoroní V. Fue un acto espontáneo inspirado por todo el caos de la noche, las multitudes de gente y los ruidos.

PerfoChoroní is a performance festival rooted and inspired by the Fluxus movement. Fluxus developed in the 1960's in the U.S.A. and parts of Europe as an immediacy to find elemental modes of expression. It was a time of many changes; war and revolution- and likewise the changes of the time were represented in art through Dada, Surrealism, Fluxus and more. Each of these had in common the desire and ability to free the artist as a creative being more than ever before. This was during new influences such as Sigmund Freud's writings on the subconscious, super ego, ego and id. They used the theory in ways in attempt to make it relevant and practical to everyone. And so the definition of art was greatly challenged and it became decidedly very ordinary to illustrate that art can exist in anything especially the most absurd, mundane and quotidian.
The following is information provided about Fluxus by the organizers of PerfoChoroní
De hecho vivimos en una “escultura social” y se lo debemos al FLUXUS las posibilidades de entenderlo. Las consecuencias de este descubrimiento son profundas e inevitables y nos plantean preguntas más que afirmaciones:
- ¿Si las sociedades humanas son esculturas qué somos los hombres que vivimos en ellas?
- ¿Cuerpos pasivos o activos de la transformación que está en marcha?
- ¿Qué papel juega el arte la performance en la revolución que tiene lugar en nuestra escultura?
- ¿Somos todos artistas o solo los que tienen talento?
- ¿Y cuál es el arte que está porvenir: profundo y elitesco o simple y elemental?
And so we live in a 'social sculpture' and we owe the possibility to interrogate this sculpture to the Fluxus. The concequences of this descovery are profound and inevitable and we form questions more than answers:

- If human societies are sculpture what are the humans living within it?
- Are we passive bodies or active agents of transformation that is already happening?
- What role does performance art play in our social sculpture?
- Are we all artists? or Only the ones with discernible talent?
