Video art inspired by the poem "Die a little more every day" of the Peruvian poet Blanca Varela (1926-2009) , is a personal reinterpretation of what it means to detach oneself from one's own body.
In this audiovisual poetry proposal, Cristina Flowers makes reference to the part-whole concept from the use of his own body as a universal-cellular cyclical axis, and at the same time warns him vulnerable to the uncertainty of biopsies, to which he will later have to undergo to obtain a medical diagnosis in the face of a skin disease.
"Die every day a little more "is the first video art in the series" Poems "in which Cristina Flores, as an intimate and emotional diary, analyzes her own body and skin to subject them to a process of healing and regeneration.
"Die every day a little more"
Poem by Blanca Varela
Die every day a little more
trim nails
hair
the wishes
learn to think small
and in the immense
in the farthest stars
and immobile
in the sky
stained like an animal that flees
in the sky
scared by me
