COEUR DU VOLCAN.
Curated by Annabel Gueredrat & Maria Elena Ortiz.
​Festival International D'Art Performance. April 2017 Rue République, Fort de France, Martinique.

This performance was based in improvisation and Dérives trough the streets of Fort De France where Alejandro brought collected random objects from the streets to this square and performed publicly.
The artist feels in great connection to mountains and in fact he was born and raised in Mexico City which is surrounded by active volcanoes which definitively marked his upbringing. He will always remember the few times when the entire city was covered by volcanic ashes which made him realize how powerless humans are in relation to the great forces of Nature. During his stay in Martinique, he learned about the recent history of mass destruction that the island suffered from the explosion of  Mount Pelé.
​

As a tribute to the great power of nature and honoring the volcano in this island he intervened a large piece of broken glass writing on it the phrase Volcano´s heart and then held it for 10 minutes while balancing on a stool.
​
Alejandro believes his body is directly connected to the earth energy perceiving his own blood to be the lava inside his body and his heart beats to be the pulse of the Volcano.
