Graphic Art and Performance Art.
The paper is the priviledge material for the printmaking and hand-printing activity. But printmaking and hand-printing are basically a huge amount of same actions repeating. They are repeated during the developing of one edition for example, or in the creation of Artis't books. The sum of those actions are the phisicality of the printmaking laboratory. Due to the coexistence of effort, spiritual rite and belief, the art printing and original printmaking belong to Theatre.
The paper is called for talking about these Body traces, setting a little polemic with the digital printing process and imaginery. The elements involved are: PAPER, BODY, REPETITION, MULTIPLE, ACTIONs, MULTIPLICATION.
Doing an activity and doing it by hands brings back us the real reality. Could for examples save us from the abstraction reached in money accumulation by the last financial-economic crusade of assassins?

There will be original graphic art prints, realized through hand traditional old techniques and processes plus video-animations edited with the repetition of these same prints; then video of performances politically related with those elements.
