 This project/ inquiry reflects my current situation during a period of crisis: repeating and re- repeating, a constant state of confusion, mourning, and uncertainty. “The Blah Library”, as its name states, is a cloud-library assembled by photographs, screenshots, videos, sounds, and objects. It tells the stories that had/are shaping and permeating my experience. What intersects me. It is not a linear or chronological tale. Nor is it about the political/social History of the US and / or Ecuador.  Most of the time, it enunciates my nonconformities with social/political/personal life. Other times it narrates my saudades and what urges me to do. All of this is materialized through the figure of the library “a curated collection of sources of information and similar resources, selected by experts and made accessible to a defined community for reference or borrowing” (Wikipedia)  In this case, my role as an artist is that of a collector and archaeologist of my own narrative. The drive behind all of this is the fight against oblivion, an urge to preserve the remnants of life beyond (whatever happens next).
