2014 La devolución del Penacho de Vucub Caquix. The devolution of the Vucub Caquix Guatemala The artist is standing with closed eyes inside a clear acrylic parallelepiped, inside is full of black feathers, she's caught under the impossible to get out, her body is stained black, while the transparent becomes opaque. In that opacity is the border of truths. The action is based on Moctezuma's Penacho found in Vienna, and it is unclear whether in fact the origin and why is it still belongs to this European city.
