100 Wishes @ Zsona Maco 2009

During the last edition of Zsona Maco, the contemporary art fair in Mexico City, I gave 100 wishes to the visitors. With white cotton cordons used as bracelets. I asked them to close their eyes, make a wish while I did the knot of it. Then, I asked them that every time they see it try to remember/visualize that specific wish. Then, when it comes true they must give me back the cordon and I will do a piece with it. Today, one week and a half after the art fair, at least three persons have told me that what they wish now is a reality. Keep wishing!

TWP @ Tepeji del Rio, Mexico

For the past 4 years I have been doing collective performances in different places. People is ask to write three wishes on a white paper, then in a circle we burn them while I ask them to visualized what they are wishing for. Then I ask for their email address and send them a photo with an abstract image created by me with that ashes.

This image has the ashes of this performance which took place in Tepeji del Rio, Mexico few weeks ago.
