Part I
This performance is an exhortation, a cry in the face of the extermination of infants, babies, and children, a wake-up call, a prayer in the face of the Zionist genocide against the Palestinian people. In the desert landscape of the installation Requiem ad Calamitatem, I will prostrate myself on the salt, in silence. Later, I take papers wrapped in gauze from my belly—photocopies of infants—which I then place on the salt, which will also cover those faces terrorized by bombs and catastrophe.
Part II
As we leave the rotunda, many people follow me to the second floor, forming a procession. On the balcony of the museum's central hall, we display baby clothes and words alluding to genocide, such as: GENOCIDE, EXTERMINATION, HUNGER, THIRST, AGONY, ABANDONMENT, MASSACRE DISASTER, SADNESS, BITTERNESS, PAIN, DESTRUCTION, RUBBLE SEGREGATION, MASSACRE, COLONIALISM, INHUMANITY, CRUELTY, INJUSTICE, etc. Finally, we go down to the hall to meet the public.
