“Made in Galiza”, 2009, Video/Performance,

La video acción made in Galiza se articula dentro del marco de la cultura de la sospecha. Al azotarse con un pulpo en la espalda caligrafiada con made in Galiza pone en cuestión ciertos aspectos de la construcción identitaria. A través del rito de la flagelación se ponen de manifiesto elementos pertenecientes a la latencia de la imagen de identidad gallega remitiendo ésta a una construcción de orden comercial. Así, el cuerpo con la denominación made in se lee como mercancía de consumo y la idea de pertenencia identitaria se ubica en las relaciones de intercambio económico. La elección del pulpo como elemento fustigante establece una clara relación de ese animal, que ya no es tal sino un producto de consumo alimentario, con la identidad gallega asociada a la capitalización de la gastronomía local. De la atmósfera de la identidad local, una vez expuestos los elementos que componen su latencia, solo queda por mostrar la última de las latencias, esto es, la de su explotación como bien de consumo ante la cual al artista sólo le queda la posibilidad de repetir el rito de autoflagelación infinito y sin sentido.

The video-action Made in Galiza is articulated in the framing of suspicion. By whipping himself on the back with an octopus, on which he has written Made in Galiza, he is questioning certain aspects of theconstruction of identity. Through the rite of flagellation elements, belonging to the Galician identity, come into the speech, referring to the construction of commercial order. Therefore, the body with the denomination Made in is read as merchandise for consumerism, and the idea of identity belonging is positioned in the economic interchange of relationships. The election of the octopus as fustigating element establishes a clear relationship with the animal that is no longer such; but a product for consuming, relating the Galician identity to the capitalization of the local gastronomy. From the local identity atmosphere, once the elements which integrate its latency are exposed, the only thing left is showing the last part of its integrity, which is it's exploitation as a good for consumption. Knowing this, the only possibility the artist has is to repeat that infinite and non-sensical self-flogging rite.
