This is what happens on a performance scale with Tania Bruguera. Tania masters the stage with her own body, she establishes the rules for intellectual dialogue with pieces of cloth, books, natural and synthetic fibers, earth, feathers, bones, with which she offers an ephemeral, perishable discourse of a high emotional intensity, able to transcend the time in which it operates. Her performances remain in our memory like beats, pulsations of a very special moment.
