This work is constructed from the margins, from a displaced perspective that questions the limits of representation, territory, and the body. "Inhabiting the Edge" is a visual and poetic investigation into in-between spaces, those without name or center, but where a radical form of existence and resistance is inscribed.
I inhabit the edges, the margins, and the unspoken words of history. I write in the blank spaces of texts. I find myself within the thickness of a picture frame, on the face of the pedestal that covers the floor, in the undocumented portion of an action, in the buried fragment of history. I position myself in the out-of-place, with a divided, partial perception that perceives the world from both inside and out. A body without borders, inhabiting a threshold, a transition, a liminal space, between two oppressive powers. In those places situated in between, in those spaces of difference, that belong neither here nor there, that do not succumb to binary thinking. These are the stages where the poetics that give form and place to this work are gestated.
I was a body thrown out of itself, a body lost among places... Now I inhabit the division, the guiding thread on which I walk; the crack of an intermediate point that separates one world from another.
