- Why are you an Artist?
- From these beginnings was born my performances in where I try the topic of the political missing person during the military dictatorship in my country, Uruguay, from 1973 to 1984, topic still burning and unsettled in our society. From there the object of the work: denouncing the compulsive disappearition of the competitors to the dictators like a brutal and inhuman system in order to resolve the social antagonisms and, to the same time, reaffirm the beginnings of tolerance and mutual respect like basic element in the human relationships in a frame of peace and justice.
