I was invited to participate in an exhibition at
Fundacion Simon I. Patino in Santa Cruz, Bolivia by
Natalia Gonzalez Requena and
Phil Hessler. The show was called
Delineadores,
and we all decided to make site-specific work for the show. It was an
amazing experience.
The city is divided up in circular Anillos, or
rings. There are at least 6 inner anillos. I thought this was
interesting coming from DC where the beltway surrounds the city. I
decided to make this a part of the walking project. I made the limits of
the walk the first anillo, which worked out well since Patino is in the
center of the city. Residents
of Santa Cruz met at Fundacion Simon I. Patino and picked up maps. We
walked for an hour around sunset.
I took the abstract lines of the collected paths and made a wall drawing
with tape collected from local shops. Some of the tapes were shiny and
caught the light of passing cars. This was in front of a window on a
busy street.
