Carmen Werner
| Creator and performer: | Carmen Werner |
I would like to say thank you for this initiative which has made me enjoy creation, in the context of what one can enjoy while being locked up. For me, the search for the idea or the starting point is vital in all types of creation. I started creating Te aviso si el mundo cambia (I'll let you know if the world changes) in a space I don't usually go to: an attic. There is a very old painting there, among some other pieces of furniture. In the moment I am living right now, I miss many things and many people, including my mother. This piece came from thinking about her. This is a moment of memories from the past: we always think the past was better, without realising the good moments that, in spite of everything, we live every second. And, luckily, we live.
