Synopsis

"Born ash, Die weeds” is a video performance in which an anonymous body with a covered face is present in a certain area of ??the city of Santiago, Chile. This body, born in rage and ash, rejects its own masculine traits, those that biologically govern it. There is a corporal, sexual and verbal story along with a central weed without sex that is dying. Mobilizing along a non-heterosexual path, under a seismic collective and personal wound. The space is an explicit setting where gazes murdered by power and the state that does not protect lie. Likewise, it is an area of ??memories, concern, memories and constant impetus expressed under a sad but resistant and present garden. Here, the metaphor of desires is seismic. There is a crossing of various desires for justice and dislocation towards the political, moral and social structure, although many times they find themselves in the midst of a dream that may never arrive.
