The Goat Road

International Performance Festival Cabezabajo. Condes de Gabia Palace, Granada, June 2011.

This performance took place during a time of change in my personal life. Cutting my hair has always been a ritual  to mark these kind of changes. The performance consisted of two parts.

Part One:

I sit down and I cut my hair. I collect the hair in a container. I cut the hair into smaller pieces.

I take off my clothes and I stick the hair to my body with condensed milk all over my body. I

Afterwards, I remove the hair from my body using a wooden spatula.

I put this sticky mass into a box.

I wash myself with a bowl of water and I get dressed.

I distribute a paper with an invitation to the second part of the performance which will take place several days later to the public.

Part Two:

We drive to the Cabra road and stop at a special place, an esplanade at the top of the mountain.

I look for a place and I dig a hole in the ground.

I write personal messages on several ping pong balls.

I put the ping pong balls and the box with the tangle of hair and condensed milk in the hole.

I cover the hole and I eat sunflower seeds for a while, throwing the rinds on the floor, near the hole.

Thanks Carmen Rivero for her photos.
