Bukvar/ Ensayo de una protesta (Bookvar/ Essay of a protest)
Faximil in laser print from author’s first elementary school book (1978, DDR, URSS), historical images printed in laser on mylar plate. 28 X 21 X 1,5 cm. Binding by Alter Nativa Gráfica. Edition 2.
Special Collection of Stanford University Libraries (EEUU)
Dedicated to all children and youth from all eras, countries, regimes, religions...
In this book I made a reflection about the childhood of other kids in different countries and religions. The pages that were printed from the internet touch various themes: children in Nazi concentration camps, the Soviet Gulag forced labor camps, migration due to the armed conflict in Syria and the Donbass region in Ukraine, homeless children and youth in Mexico, the forced disappearance of students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College in Guerrero. The transparencies used allowed to integrate various pictures with the illustrated images of syllables from the book. Afterwards I created an alternative text to intervene book’s content, the texts are simple stories about three kids, Pasha from the URSS, Amira from Syria and Dima from Ukraine. I decided to include Lenin, Stalin, Peña Nieto and Hitler with their childhood pictures, showing how some kids become feared monsters. My mom used to say that bad kids don’t exist, but I always doubt it. The book begins with planes and bombs that attack the Red Square, it ends with a petition for peace where the letters “MIR” (the word for peace) are found held by kids. Three letters, three kids, three different cultures.
In colofon quotes I put here some words of our sovietic song by L.Oshanin “May there always be sun “ (1962) “May there always be sun “: Circle of the sun / The sky above / This is a children’s drawing / Drew on the sheet and wrote on the corner:
May there always be sunshine,
May there always be sky,
May there always be mom,
May I always be me...
