Residency at the 1st Festival of Contemporary Art, Anso

What the people say is true

During this residency I collected favourite proverbs and sayings from local people and tourists in the Pyrenees village of Anso. These were then translated back into English over the internet and with help
from the few bilingual people in the village, and used to create a text.
The text was then tranlasted back into Spanish and posted around the town in various public locations.
I performed a final version of the text in Greek as part of a site-specific dance piece lead by
Compania Nux, a contemporary dance company.

Inanima Anso

The other project I undertook during the residency was a development of my ongoing project, Inanima: an illustrated history of stuff, which is a drawing diary of everyday objects. I documented my trip to and stay in the Pyrenees and once in Anso I befriended local people and drew objects from inside their houses. The drawings were exhbited in a domestic interior of a 100 year old house museum, called "Casa Morene", and were also presented as a film screening in the local cinema.
