Abstract

In this performative piece, actress Rosario Jaramillo, sister of artist Lorenzo Jaramillo—who passed away in 1992 due to complications related to AIDS—lends her presence and voice to embody the painter’s words. Spoken in the last interview he gave a few months before his death, Jaramillo reflects on his final exhibition and his state of being during an advanced stage of illness.
