Buda midió el Universo dando siete pasos en cada dirección del espacio.
Todo movimiento comienza con el pie y acaba con él.
Por eso el ser humano deja su huella en el camino que recorre ya sea buena o mala.
Este ensayo visual, Of art y piernas en el MOMA, es el resultado de esta reflexión sobre dónde está lo trascendente.
Me “estudié” las salas del MOMA durante días (2011), y entre muchas cosas también quedó esto:
Los pasos los dí. Cansado reposé y vi mis pies rojos. El MOMA estaba lleno de gente...bueno, mejor dicho, de piernas, piernas de todos los tipos, grandes, gordas, pequeñas, quebradas, infantiles…, con dolor de agujas entre las uñas y la carne. Despertóme un olor ácido, de azufre, de amoniaco, a naftalina…, efectivamente estaba en el averno, mejor dicho, seguía allí. Me levanté y como BUDA caminé siete pasos en el espacio y medí el Universo en el suelo…después a casa (en la 10 th con la 43) y me bebí toda la cerveza que pude.
En el artículo se recogen mis imágenes acompañadas de un breve texto o poema de diversas personas con las que la obra ha interaccionado.
De arte & legs at MOMA
The Buddha took seven steps in each of the four cardinal directions in order to measure the Universe. All movement begins and finishes with the foot. So humans leave their mark on the road that they run. This visual essay, De arte & legs at MOMA, is the result of this reflection on where is it the transcendent. I was “studying” the halls of MOMA for days (2011), and among many things was also this: The steps I took. Tired I rested my feet and saw them in red. The MOMA was full of people ... well, rather, of legs, legs of all types, big, fat, small, broken, children ... with needles pain between nail and flesh. I felt an acid odor, sulfur, ammonia, mothballs ... indeed I was in the underworld, rather, was still there. I got up and took seven steps as BUDDHA, in each of the four cardinal directions in order to measure the Universe on the floor ... then home (in the 10th Av. with the 43 st) and I drank all the beer I could. In the article we can see my images beside a short text or poem from people that has interacted with the work.
