Abstract
In April 2005, Santiago Echeverry received an anonymous email informing him that he had been infected with HIV. The message reflects not only internal frustration but also a fear of accepting oneself as a homosexual man. As AIDS became symptomatic, it forced the sender to come out in a homophobic and intolerant society. To sublimate such an aggressive message, the artist transforms the text into a kinetic, interactive, decontextualized, and stylized poem.
