Being Aloe
2007, video art, 7`30
The Brazilian metaphoric expression "I’m planted" means "I have to wait". Inspired by this expression, the video shows a life period of an aloe vera plant, which is the main agricultural product of Curaçao, where the video was produced. A plant can’t move out of a spot, the same way viewers usually don’t move during a video presentation. Will the viewers become plants?
