I am an artist who enunciates, I walk the streets of my city with a piece that speaks about hiv.
I am an art work in the open field.
I am the footprint.
I am an image that dissolves and distorts the landscape.
I am the device that bursts in for us to name.
How to talk about what the bodies keep silent?
