AANME Associacion Archivio Nuevos Media di Quito compie 20 anni di attività di ricerca, archiviazione e diffusione della videoarte ecuadoriana su territorio nazionale e internazionale, attraverso collaborazioni e scambi culturali con diversi paesi. In questa occasione sarà proiettata la selezione curatoriale di videoarte ecuadoriana ” I have burned the tarot” fortemente improntata sul corpo performativo e in continua trasformazione.

[…] “Bodies that from performativity seek to flow organically with those radical latencies that bare the soul before the mirror. Bodies that from obstinacy question to paroxysm the stereotypes of the flesh, of sound, of the image. Deformed mouths that laugh out loud at the symbolic representation. Palimpsests that offer indecipherable, impossible texts; written on the skin as burnt as the tarot.”[…] Maria Bélen Moncayo

[…] “Corpi che dalla performatività cercano di fluire organicamente con quelle latenze radicali che mettono a nudo l’anima davanti allo specchio. Corpi che dall’ostinazione mettono in discussione fino al parossismo gli stereotipi della carne, del suono, dell’immagine. Bocche deformi che ridono a crepapelle della rappresentazione simbolica. Palinsesti che propongono testi indecifrabili, impossibili; scritti come tarocchi sulla pelle bruciata.” […] Maria Bélen Moncayo
