Remote / Remoto

hello

my name is gabifaryas.

I'm a black man, cis, bixa, with dark skin and 1.80 tall. I have several dreadlocks with lightly browned tips. seen, in this work, a jacket and pants, both yellow. with bare feet.

the space I'm in is an empty space. a void that subtly changes from purple to blue over time

my body is exploded by the space of the work. you will always find me in pieces. never whole. there are heads flying. legs, arms, back.

in each part of the floating body you will read or listen to me at some point in my life.

some moments I have lived, others not yet. others I will live with you.

in the center of this space where my body is exploded there is a giant aloe vera. green. with about 25 stems, all with a wrinkled texture. my legs are attached to this plant. my torso is an aloe over there.

there's some poetry lying around, trying to find a place to stay.

desperately walking around looking for a place to lean on.
walking around looking for a place to put down their roots.
to nourish yourself.
dry.

There were about 13 children, like that. They arrived very cute, without asking permission to touch, talking. And when you see I was at the same height as them. On the floor, talking to them. The first took my finger, the second took my left arm and the third, as I remember it at least, took my head and she positioned my head so that I could perceive everything that happened to what had once been the my body actually. One took my foot. The other pulled hard on my hips and I stayed there, trying.

I would wake up and realize what I thought the world was until then. I still dream about this house, it was very tall. It's too high! Every day I woke up from this season I spent there and heard the same song on the radio. the same:

flat tire, turn on the headlight turn on the headlight.
flat tire, turn on the headlight turn on the headlight.
if someone called my lady
if someone loved and left

sem cabeça. 

me lembro de uns tempos onde esse corpo nem existia, pelo menos não da maneira que tu vai encarar ele, recolhendo…remontando… eu faço isso com o espaço-tempo em que vivo: colo partes que me desejam com partes que sou obrigado a acessar. têm coisas que estão na história dessa terra y também estão na história de quem entra nessa obra. 

eu fui explodir a narrativa universal sobre o que posso ser y me deparei comigo, criança, me recortando y colando, num processo infantil de invenção de mundos. me pluralizando através de revistas imaginadas.

um emaranhado de narrativas y tempos y espirais y espaços y desejos que muitas vezes querem comer tudo que faz bem, até babosas, mas não dá pra comer tudo. y que bom. remoto por obrigação y persistência. 

com raízes. 

                                                                                                             nem que sejam flutuantes.

everything melts, everything melts, with time everything melts, everything melts and goes back, with time everything goes back, everything goes back and melts. and melts. and melts. in that instant where I am diluted as much as possible on the ground, melted, I reassemble myself. everything melts.

of four places on this earth. today I went from four places on this earth.
if you put all this map together, it doesn't fit here. in me.
I am going to sleep.
I am going to sleep.
