¿Y dónde está su Taita?

Abstract

This project was born from the need to close a life cycle that was born as a result of a childhood event (parental abandonment), where I begin to investigate my problem of individually but which ends up becoming a collective investigation, looking for causality we find a series of psychological problems, social and cultural that involves us who have experienced abandonment. It is a journey that I invite you to go along with me in a process not only of creation but also emotional reflection, which finally ends up locating me As an individual, understanding myself and understanding how this also affects everyone. Autobiographically I begin to reconstruct that memory file that I gives clues to the problem, parental abandonment, turns out to be a problem that tends to go unnoticed in our society, perhaps because it is common and normalizing it as we have done so far only enlarges the problem and leads to cultural levels. During the investigation I inquire about these patterns social and cultural that we have in mind, in parallel I begin a process legal against my father who finally ends up giving me perspective of justice and the processes of a possible reconciliation in our country. The project is divided into chapters as a story that tell the process creative and emotional that comes with facing my past, the chapters are progressive and in them the investigation arises in the same order in which I found each clue that led me to a conclusion. The final proposal of the project is a compilation of the process that takes from beginning to end, each chapter leaves a sample that interprets in a plastic way, it is evidence of history and time, not only mine but an entire society and of our cultural constructs as a country. Through the collection of photographs, objects and symbolic samples, I develop a video installation that I use as a tool to reflect on abandonment and absence. Finally I propose a reflection that revolves around the need for a process of internal and external reconciliation, the importance of dignifying ourselves as people, as individuals who feel and who of course make up a much larger collective called society, where we cannot forget that what we do as individuals it affects her.
