ANSWER

Participatory action performance. Created in Barranco at the 2008 Backpackers Performance Meeting (curated by Guillermo Castrillón). On May 23, 2012, 35 students from Patricia Ciriani's Art with the City course (PUCP School of Architecture) performed it again at the Tontódromo on the PUCP university campus. On March 30, 2013, it was held at the Metropolitan Cultural Center of Quito, during the Ecua UIO 2 Festival.

PUCP 2012 Execution:

Standing blindfolded on the Tontódromo (central promenade), in front of the PUCP bookstore and cafeteria, at the intersection leading to the main entrance to the university. As he blindfolded people, he whispered in their ears: "Eyes closed: stay like that until something happens." After about an hour, when they removed the blindfolds, they discovered that "inside," on the back of the blindfolds, lay the question: "What place does body art have in a country of disappeared bodies?"

Executions:
