Today is my sixth day in Hungary. My room is a mess. There's hair and dirty clothes everywhere. But I have a great sensation in my mind. I feel totally new and that is because I gave everything yesterday at the DARK PASSENGERS show in the FISE Gallery. I sang six mexican songs that complement the message of the drawings in the gallery.
The intention of the music was to make a contrast between the colourful images and with their messages. Every one of them have a way to hurt or they have been hurt by somebody. Talking about pain and represent it with brilliant colors makes an ironic but also positive exhibition.
The mounting process was absolute crazy. This is where I have to put all my knowledge in mimic arts to understand and communicate with curator Agnes Haäz because she doesn't speak English. We found ways and sounds to understand each other and that worked perfectly. She's so perfectionist and I loves that. At the end everything was ok. The aluminum frames looked great.
Yesterday, many FISE members came to the show and a member of the Mexican Embassy, Denis Reynaud-Pulido, cultural attaché was here in representation of the Ambassador Isabel Bárbara Téllez Rosete. Borbála Cseh gave an speech about my past works and how I won the prize in 2007 and that was the reason I came here to have a solo show. then Agnés speak too about the very characteristic style of the drawings and their messages. Robert Mascher also talked about the 28 hour trip I’ve made to present my works at the gallery.
For me this was not another exhibition. It was a very personal concert to give a voice for each drawing. To tell that I’m not sad because I need happy pills, I’m upset because my whole country is gloomy, it’s being damaged by a terrible war and the worst is that nobody asked us if we really wanted to be part of it.
Hungarians have seen the images of Casino Royale in the news and they were surprised to see a different perspective of that wonderful Mexico, the one they wish to visit like Acapulco or Cancún. This is so different. They didn’t understand how a rich country like Mexico is involved in this cruel battle.
I was too much voices last night. The happy voices, the crying voices but also the courageous voices, the ones that demand a change but not only in a government, a change of ourselves.
These DARK PASSENGERS stay here at the FISE Gallery to be seen as we see in the mirror. This a a reflection of us, as a society and as human beings. If I can touch your heart, then I had succeeded and everything was worthy.
