Un hombre presenta una serie de ejercicios que se refieren a la arbitrareidad y el juego. Micaela Koenig (Guayaquil, 2000) crea imágenes y adapta espacios con el afán de suspender las lógicas generalmente tomadas por sentado. En estas suspensiones se asientan sensateces y órdenes ocasionales que llevan al espectador a preguntarse por el lugar del que provienen. Koenig explora —desde el lugar de la potestad— el deseo, la contradicción, la banalidad, los equívocos y la complicidad.
Glosario: equipamiento para llegar a aquello que se desea –
coordenadas de llegada hacia la médula de la toma de decisiones – bestiario
travesura/mischief (ing.): [de no relacionarse, escarbe en la memoria un momento similar]
Desde el rabillo del ojo, no se debe confundir por basurita impulsada por el viento, un abejorro agonizante. Habrá de reconocer que se escucharon los zumbidos interrumpidos y que no se hizo mayor cosa para ayudar. Recordar que se observaron los últimos alientos del animal. Gritos en clave morse.
deseo volátil / cuerda suelta retráctil sensible a la luz: quiero mostrarte esta foto en mi celu pero míralo aquí en mis manos, no me quites el celu porque tengo miedo de que veas lo que tengo en él. Puede que veas mi carpeta de fotos o mis contactos o mis notas y eso es lo que menos quiero, pero míralo aquí, vi esto y pensé en ti y en lo que hablamos por chat el otro día y en persona la otra semana. Solo esto, no lo otro, ni lo siguiente. No te puedo dar mi celu, no quiero que ni se te cruce por la mente lo que tengo adentro. Mejor te lo mando y te olvidas de todo esto.
caza de milagros: es posible cazar milagros si te quedas viendo cosas mucho tiempo, y si no tomas agua, y si en el cielo se empiezan a crear gusanitos transparentes luego de caminar viendo hacia arriba.
CLAMA A MI I YO TE RESPONDERE I TE ENCEÑARE COSAS GRANDES I OCULTAS QUE NO CONOSES (anuncio en un auto, marcha por la vida, septiembre 2023, Malecón 2000)
komono: (cuarta categoría del método de orden y limpieza de Marie Kondo) (objetos varios y piezas con valor sentimental) usualmente renegado hacia el final del método. No passion is stronger in the breast of a man than the desire to make others believe as he believes. Nothing so cuts at the root of his happiness and fills him with rage as the sense that another rates low what he prizes high [No hay pasión más fuerte en el pecho de un hombre que el deseo de hacer creer a los demás lo que él cree. Nada afecta tanto a su felicidad y le llena de rabia como la sensación de que otro valora menos lo que él valora más...] (Orlando, Virginia Woolf)
holi estaba pensando que como ya salieron los horarios de corte de energía lógica en todos los sectores en el territorio nacional (terrible!!! están larguísimos) te querías quedar conmigo en mi casa si quieres te voy a ver porque la verdad es que no creo que estaré haciendo nada igual llámame si te animas, no dormí (soñé que se me caían los dientes y todo el mundo se reía y durante toda la madrugada acaricié con mi lengua mis encías) entonces puede que me quede dormido a tu lado si hacemos algo

La noche empieza y, con ella, mi camino
Club de bruxistas, todos los miércoles a las 7 nos reuniremos a ver quiénes han recorrido más y mediremos el tamaño de nuestros dientes. Aquellos que no puedan lidiar, se entregarán protectores bucales
Ni una sola palabra
Ni gestos, ni miradas apasionadas
Ni rastro de los besos que antes me dabas
Hasta el amanecer
Ni una de las sonrisas
Por las que cada noche y todos los días
Sollozan estos ojos
En los que ahora te ves
Por las que cada noche y todos los días
Sollozan estos ojos
En los que ahora te ves
Un hombre presents a series of exercises that refer to arbitrariness and play. Micaela Koenig (Guayaquil, 2000) creates images and adapts spaces in an effort to suspend the logics generally taken for granted. In these suspensions sit occasional sensations and orders that lead the viewer to wonder about the place they come from. Koenig explores —from the place of power— desire, contradiction, banality, equivocation and complicity.
mischief/mischief:
[if not related, dig into memory for a similar moment]. From the corner of your eye, not to be mistaken for wind-driven litter, a dying bumblebee. You will have to admit that you heard the interrupted buzzing and did little to help. Remember that the last breaths of the animal were observed. Cries in Morse code.
volatile desire / light sensitive retractable loose string:
I want to show you this picture on my phone but look at it over here, in my hands, don't take my phone away from me because I'm afraid you'll see what I have on it. You might see my camera roll or my contacts or my notes and that's what I want the least, but look at it here, I saw this and I thought of you and what we talked about, texting, the other day and in person the other week. Just this, not the other, not the next. I can't give you my cell phone, I don't want you to even think about what I have inside. I'd better send it to you and forget about all this.
miracle hunting:
it is possible to hunt miracles if you gaze at things for a long time, and if you don't drink water, and if in the sky you start to create little transparent worms after walking looking up.
CALL TO ME AND I WILL ANSWER YOU AND I WILL SHOW YOU GREAT AND HIDDEN THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW (announcement on a car, march for life, September 2023, Malecón 2000)
komono: (fourth category of Marie Kondo's tidying method) (miscellaneous objects and pieces with sentimental value) usually disclaimed towards the end of the method.

Nothing so cuts at the root of his happiness and fills him with rage as the sense that another rates low what he prizes high [No passion is stronger in the breast of a man than the desire to make others believe as he believes.

hiiiiii i was thinking that since the logical power cut schedules have already been announced in all the sectors in the national territory (how terrible!!! they’re endless!!!) you might want to stay with me at my house if you want i will come to see you because the truth is that i don't think i will be doing anything anyway call me if you dare, i didn't sleep (i dreamt that my teeth fell out and everybody laughed and during the whole dawn i caressed my gums with my tongue) then maybe i will fall asleep next to you if we do something.
Not a single word
No gestures, no passionate glances
No trace of the kisses you used to give me
Till the sunrise.
Not one of the smiles
Through which every night and every day
These eyes in which you now see your face,
sob.

The night begins and, with it, my journey.
Bruxers Club, every Wednesday at 7 we will meet to see who has traveled the most and measure the size of our teeth. Those who can't cope will be given mouthguards.
