Félicitations Georges,
/ 2022

Georges Perec’s book “The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise” can be found at the Jobs & Career Center of the San Francisco Public Library (4th Floor).

I documented this encounter and left a note for Perec that reads “Congratulations George, Even dead you are still mocking us all. Kisses, Blanca”

Here is the synopsis of the book, published by Verso:

Living in San Francisco, I have heard phrases containing the word ‘care’ countless times, to the point that I started questioning if the word has lost its meaning from extreme use. Care, like barbed wire, only hurts if we are close enough to handle it. 
Who cares? Who really cares when we say we ‘care’? 
To care is to be hurt. Yet, the closer we get to the unknown, the more we care.

Obra parte de la exposición Photography Without Camera II. ¿Cómo podríamos fotografiar sin cámaras? ¿Cómo ejercemos una función fotográfica entre nosotros? Ouroboros presenta un loop infinito de fotografías en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. El ojo está tomando fotografías constantemente,una narración de memorias fotográficas. Cada vez que mi ojo se cierra, tomo una fotografía de la persona que está mirando el vídeo, que a su vez, toma fotografías de mi ojo al mirarlo con los suyos, ambos nos encontramos en un uroboros fotográfico, en una fotografía constante.

How could we take photographs without a camera? How do we photograph each other?
