EVICTIONS - Re Diaz-Salgado
Re Diaz-Salgado ( Mexico )
Evictions occur in different ways and scales, these are related to an overwhelming operation of land cooptation. During her residency period, Re will transform a house-eviction experience into a multi-media documentation that reflects on family relations and city tensions driven by capital-based violence. This work interprets different ways through which a moment of loss is digested and encapsulated, and taps into questioning the in-between trauma and memory-making. Within the context of Berlin, her research includes observing bottom-up processes of land allocation and looking closely at what occurs despite and thanks to State frameworks. Documenting these moments recalls, archives, and translates displacement events beyond the self-referential as an effort to make legible power relations and their possible reconfigurations.
