When I received the garbage pin I was in an artistic residence entitled “Show of Theater” in the city of Faro, at the beginning of a project.
The title is sufficiently vague to be able to express the outlines of the territory of real and fictional duplicity. A literal territory in his actions and intentions, without intermediaries not even metaphors. The “Garbage Pin Project” began when the “Show of Theater” began. during this March of 2008, I decided to try of my poison itself, undergoing the rules that govern these emotional-geographical territory and that are written in a document that is more ethical then aesthetical, and to which I call “dogma 2005”.
The “dogma” says, for example, that it is not worthwhile if we spend energy unnecessarily running behind ideas; because “the best is not necessarily good” (Thomas hirschhorn). It was not necessary to wait much: I went upstairs of the Centre of Arts Performativas of the Algarve and the “garbage” was waiting on top
of my work table. First I denied, following accepted, in the end I thanked; three necessary phases.
