Ma Cuisse Geopolitique

Montreal, 2009 - Photographic Documentation, String - Animation; Presented at the UQAM Gallery.

Ma cuisse géopolitique is a satire of the geographic history of a region; a work that denotes the triviality of politic rivalities that shape collective memory. By the actions of tensions of a simple nylon string on the skin I express the division of the Humans through past imaginary borders that affect our consciousness and their sense of belonging through country names.
