Yeye Omo Eja
«That day had been a very cloudy and stormy day. It was the celebration of Yemanja, queen of all Orishas and mother of the sea. Hundreds of people came to build altars in her honor. Then suddenly the sun appeared surrounding everybody with this unexpected goldish material. As to response to their prayer a kind of miraculous light enlightened everybody. This woman was standing in the water holding the goddess’ statue with a touching poetry. She made me think about all the expectations that we have from the sea and how people interact with it as a holy substance and a source of fulfillment of their dreams.»
The waiting
«The matter of the waiting has always fascinated me . How thoughts follow one another into a limbo, in a compressed atmosphere , a parallel universe, a crystallized fragment of time, as when the storm is about to come across town: leaves start to make rounds, air becomes thick and wet, dogs start to bark and people are into a dramatic waiting for something to happen. Everything around seems to be expecting: the road is attending as men or trees. And how we stand stills, waiting for something or someone, following in space and time this nameless substance.»
El oriental
«El oriental is an Uruguayan gaucho. He has big strong hands and he wears a beautiful handmade knife at his belt. When i met him he reminded me some of Garcia Lorca ‘s characters. I immediately thought that he was - some how- out of this world. I met him while he was waiting to perform in a big rodeo in a small town in Uruguay under a big storm. The rodeo never took place. He used to ride from Uruguay to Brazil by horse to honor the memory of a great gaucho martyr.»
