HILO DE VOZ / WHISPERING THREAD

Artist statement

The thread is an artistic material and a symbol of subjection. But it also refers to the commitment to maintain a connection for preventing impunity. In Greek mythology, Ariadne gave Theseus a thread so he could get out of the Minotaur's labyrinth. Guillermina extends it so that everything that has been silenced can resonate loudly and the voice can be amplified.

The different dimensions in the installations, objects, and paintings in the Hilo de Voz / Whispering Thread series are significant. From the miniaturization of the suffering bodies, almost imperceptible, to the large red lips/mouths that question the viewer what pains are hidden in their folds and crevices. Between the small and the large, the drama unfolds, resonating with a call to get involved.
