Gala Garrido | Apuntes sobre el Hastío
Apuntes sobre el Hastío | Annotations on Boredom
Apuntes sobre el Hastío is a multi media on going project, divided into section: Diarios, Fragmentos, Apuntes, and includes photography, video and lie performances by photographer and artist Gala Garrido.
The work, displayed as an immersive thread of consciousness, is based in personal experience and an exploration of a curated selection of poems.
“My journey starts in Venezuela, with my soul looking for freedom in the depths of hell. While faced with deathful anguish, the poets’ voices became my Virgils, guiding me to overcome the dangers of the path and giving me refuge in every live performance when I read their passages. The pilgrimage develops in three general movements:The Outward Journey when I document the authors’ work and life. The Inner Journey, a documentation of the symbolic realm orbiting each author; and The Reconciliation: a staged post-poetic installation that reconstructs the incarnation process of my Selves”.
Gala Garrido is an artist from Caracas, Venezuela. Her work is about creating a space for empathy and exploring identity and eroticism through photographic representation from a feminine perspective.
