SCROLL DOWN_Manifesto, 2020 es una modesta edición de un texto que desarrollé en París durante un período de residencia, teniendo en primer plano las revueltas y disturbios ocurridos en la ciudad durante los meses de octubre 2018 y enero 2019.
SCROLL DOWN_Manifesto, 2020 es un texto (escrito haciendo uso de la forma y el estilo de los manifiestos) que reclama cambio y conciencia; una propuesta textual y visual en relación con nuestro tiempo presente de errores y esperanzas. El estilo lúdico y resistente de los manifiestos aportó la libertad estética perfecta para expresar algunas ideas que tenía en mente desde hacía meses.
SCROLL DOWN_Manifesto, 2020 trata sobre ecología, estética, política y poesía, sobre la vida social y la guerra en Siria, sobre el futuro como hecho cultural y la necesidad urgente de nuevos enfoques para la crítica ecológica. El texto abordó mis recientes intereses al considerar la vida social como tema para la producción estética haciendo uso de la forma manifiesto; una forma que habitualmente combina política y estética, utilizando la imaginación textual para proponer mensajes políticos efectivos en relación con la vida social.

SCROLL DOWN_Manifesto, 2020 is an edition of 330 issues of a text written in the form and the style of a manifesto that I developed in Paris during the residency period having as a foreground the revolts and riots occurred in the city at those months.
SCROLL DOWN_Manifesto, 2020 is a text claiming for change and consciousness, a textual and visual proposal in relation to our present time of failures and hopes. The playful format and the resistant style of manifestos gave me the perfect aesthetical freedom to express some ideas that were flying in mind since months ago.
20 issues of SCROLL DOWN_Manifesto, 2020 were installed at EHESS’ tables lobby along with the rest of publicactions, flyers, newspapers, and others documents that normally are offered to the public at this public institutional place. In a way, SCROLL DOWN_Manifesto was attepting to find their own readers among all the citizens that normally use those spaces. A silent installation with texts for the lobby of the EHESS, in Paris.
SCROLL DOWN_Manifesto, 2020 talked about ecology consciuosness, about aesthetcis, politics, poetry and social life itself, about the war in Syria, the future as a cultural fact and the urgent the need of new approaches to ecological criticism… In fact, the text followed my recent interests tackling social life as a subject for art.
As literary form, a manifesto habitually attempts to combine politics and aesthetics; better expressed, a manifesto uses textual imagination to propose effective political advices in relation to social reality. SCROLL DOWN_Manifesto, 2020 is just another attempt to release imagination from its habitual squeezed narrow margins and conventional social life standards. Just another manifesto for a time already tired of manifestos… Well, this is anyway, “MY MANIFESTO”, and I am happy with it, since it was as well my personal exercise of HOPE as a piece of art presented in Paris under my best intention and will.
