Resumen generado por IA
Minombre es una performance de arte jurisprudencial vitalicia y póstuma iniciada el 30 de agosto de 2017. La obra consiste en procedimientos legales ante el Estado peruano para agregar nombres de víctimas de desaparición forzada (1980-2000) al nombre del artista. Mediante demandas judiciales, Santisteban asume la responsabilidad ciudadana por las desapariciones, transformando su cuerpo en un cuerpo colectivo y social. Se han identificado 816 nombres de pila de 1,920 personas en listas oficiales, aunque estimaciones forenses sugieren 13,256 desaparecidos. Tras la muerte del artista, su cuerpo será velado en comunidades de las víctimas cuyos nombres porte, y sus cenizas serán depositadas en una urna cerámica con el nombre completo de Minombre. La curadora Lizet Díaz Machuca y el antropólogo forense José Pablo Baraybar decidirán los detalles finales de la obra.

About MyName
Minombre is a performance of jurisprudential art and host body (absent bodies in a host body), lifelong and posthumous, which is part of the Performance cycle (2008). It is carried out through the following procedures: lawsuits and judicial proceedings before the Peruvian State with the aim of adding to the name Emilio Ignacio Santisteban Ponce the names of the victims of forced disappearance in Peru (1980-2000); upon death, a traveling wake for the body in the communities where the people whose names it bears lived; finally, the voluntary disposition of the ashes to those relatives who feel it is pertinent.
It began on August 30, 2017, the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, by hiring a law firm to handle my file and accompany me in the process of the claim(s) for as long as necessary, extending to the funeral ceremonies of my body, which will no longer be that of an individual subject, but rather that of a collective and social subject due to the symbolic force of its multi-personal nomination.
Through My Name, I take responsibility, as a citizen, on behalf of the Peruvian State and its citizens, for the forced disappearance of persons. I consider myself a person dissolved in the victims of forced disappearance. What I perform is not my body, but the absent bodies that inhabit it.
There are 816 first names borne by 1,920 people who appear on the list of victims of forced disappearances published by the Ombudsman's Office. However, according to estimates by the Specialized Forensic Team of the Institute of Forensic Medicine of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Peru, prepared in 2008 by cross-referencing data from other official lists not yet made public and unofficial lists resulting from investigations by various agencies, the number of missing persons can be estimated at 13,256. An estimated 5,600 names may be taken by people who choose to be living memories of missing persons.
Final de Minombre
(2 de noviembre 2025):
Con independencia del nivel de logro del reconocimiento, por parte del Estado peruano, del agregado de nombres a Minombre, una vez ocurrido el fallecimiento, Lizet Díaz Machuca (DNI 09634386) decidirá el destino de las cenizas del cuerpo, que serán depositadas en una urna de cerámica o similar que lleve impreso por cualquier método Minombre completo. La urna no debe incluir símbolos religiosos o conmemorativos, y debe omitir cualquier indicación de fechas, en señal de universalidad atemporal.
Junto a Lizet Díaz Machuca, José Pablo Baraybar (International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC; Equipo Peruano de Antropología Forense - EPAF), participará en las deliberaciones para decidir detalles sobre el diseño y destino de la urna, la posible participación de organizaciones vinculadas a la defensa de los derechos de las víctimas de desaparición forzada en el Perú.
Lo que Lizet Díaz Machuca y José Pablo Baraybar decidan será considerado la forma final de Minombre, sin lugar a debate con otras personas.
La ejecución final será llevada a cabo por Lizet Díaz Machuca con el respaldo de producción y ejecución de la o las personas que ella convoque a su juicio y voluntad.
