“Remolino y La Maleta del Inmigrante” (2009) guest artist : Grimanesa Amorós.

REMOLINO
Growing up in Peru, I was fascinated by the diversity and dynamism of cities like New York, and have long envisioned a project that would explore and celebrate this “culture of differences.” Remolino was inspired by the neighborhood of Jamaica, in Queens—one of the first places I lived in New York, and the most ethnically diverse county in the United States. This neighborhood was veritably born of a confluence of cultures. Jamaica Avenue was an ancient trade route of the Algonquin Nation; the name itself is derived from the Jameco tribe. Settled by the British in 1655, Jamaica continues to attract those seeking a better life through increased economic opportunity, and today its streets are crowded with individuals of an indescribable diversity, from countries as distant and disparate as Haiti, China, India, Colombia, Jamaica, the Philippines, the Dominican Republic, and Pakistan.

The concentration of many dissimilar cultures and lifestyles within a relatively small space gives birth to a culture of unique contrasts. Lacking any prevailing norm, the pressure to conform in this type of community is minimal, and what was once difference becomes a part of a shared, multi-cultural experience. The residents of Jamaica are constantly swept up in this dynamic medley of languages, customs, and cuisines. This wave of diversity overwhelms and absorbs, but without threatening the integrity of individual cultures or people.

After observing, photographing, and filming the inhabitants of Jamaica, I created a video to be projected on the façade of the North Fork Bank. The juxtaposition of faces with images of flowing water is suggestive of the movement within the community, the merging of people from all imaginable origins on the vibrant sidewalks of Jamaica Avenue. The fusing, transforming, and scattering of these same faces forces the viewer to interrogate the nature of individuality, and how a shared identity can be forged out of dissimilarity.

LA MALETA DEL INMIGRANTE
The marbles inside the suitcase represent the dreams, memes and schemes that we take with us when we go to a new place. The mirrored surface inside reflects the viewer literally in the way that someone’s belongings reflects them figuratively. In other words, we are what we bring with us.

Las esferas de vidrio dentro de la maleta representan los

sueños, recuerdos y proyectos que llevamos con nosotros

cuando nos vamos a otro país. La superficie interna de

espejo refleja literalmente al espectador en la forma en que

las pertenencias de alguien lo reflejan figurativamente. En

otras palabras, somos lo que llevamos con nosotros.

REMOLINO A Videos by Grimanesa Amorós
Optica Festival La Paz 2009, Bolivia August 20-29, 2009 Cinemateca Boliviana Sala 2 – Oscar Soria C/ Oscar Soria esq. Rosendo Gutiérrez, 110 (San Jorge) La Paz	For more information about this festival please visit the Optica Festival and Cinemateca Boliviana website
Optica is one of the first projects of its kind and, at the same time, is among the contemporary art events which attracts the most media attention. This initiative, organized by the Asociación Cultural Colectivo Interferencias, offers a forum for interchange and promotion that encourages an encounter with visual experimentation at an international level. To experiment means to go in search of the unknown. Videoart breaks established precepts, conferring prominence on the essence of film: light, sound and movement, in some cases resulting in pure abstraction. That’s why it’s one of the most natural and genuine forms of audio-visual culture, to the degree that it demands a subjective perception of space-time, through the technology of the electronic image.

INAUGURATION Saturday 20 December hours 20:30

DATES:  20-24 December 2008
