Abstract

"Process of Peace" is a video-performance, of which I am the author, made in 2009, whose fundamental element is the body art. But it is a “body art” uniformed with a balaclava and the naked doves of María Luisa's park. A very simple piece, but at the same time effective, as a metaphor (not without sarcasm), about the contemporary situation of international politics. The paradox of a military or power symbol (the military uniform and the anonymity of the balaclava) that exerts a feeling of fear, either due to the use of terror or the sphere of military or police authority. This figure whose image condenses a threat or violence, gradually feeding and attracting doves, a traditional symbol and icon of peace. Metaphor about the violence exerted by states with great euphemistic events of peace, concepts of preventive war or an imposed freedom.
