Se recomienda dar un paseo para curar la melancolía _ Take a Wake to Cure Melancholy
(2018 - 2020)
Take a Wake to Cure Melancholy is a trilogy composed of a digital photography, an old postcard of the “Caballero Park” in Asunción, and a video in loop.
The Caballero Park is one of the largest and most important public spaces in the capital Asunción, which has been diminished and occupied by people for many years.
In order to talk about confinement, impossibility, and the lack of public spaces in Asunción, the artist recorded a video of a bird trying to get inside her car, a photograph of the front yard of a typical Paraguayan house, with fences, taken from the inside from a car, and an old postcard (ca. 1970) of the Caballero Park bought on a flea market. The image on the postcard was taken by Klaus Henning, a german photographer who lived in Asunción for many years and photographed various landmarks of Paraguay during the seventies.
The title refers to medical articles found on the web where doctors recommend walking daily as a way to maintain a good mental health.
