¿How it arises the Pot/Path hole proyect? Path-holes project is born of a daily situation of the life of the city where I live: one day was walking with my grandmother along the streets of my neighborhood when she stumbled and fell of mouth to the floor. It was there where I started being aware of all the holes that existed in the path. I didn´t imagine that this experience would originate in me a process of expressive search. First of all, I believe indispensably refer to the definition of the word "pot/path-hole", since it has not been chosen eventful: Pot/path-hole m. Hole in a road or in a way. II The Current atmospheric that provokes a sudden and momentary decrease of the plane the IInd PI. Fig. Difficult moments, altibajos. In the present work I will used the term "pot-hole" in the more literal meaning, that is to say, as reference to a hollow in the way or in a path, since in the more metaphorical meaning, as reference to a process of crisis or successive changes in the order of the things. I believe that a pot-hole is at the same time empty and process. This project borns in the year 2006, at that moment of mi life I was studying in the university and in turn being employed at an art gallery called Zavaleta Lab. As I was working in an art gallery, I was questioning what incidence can have the art market and collecionism on the artistic production, beyond all the things I was asking myself how I was going to face the decision of " being an artist " and what ways I was going to choose. Having the possibility of being employed at an art gallery, made me understand many realities. When I was a child, I dreamt that I was going to exhibit my works in squares and I imagen that one day a collector was going to come and would say to me that he wanted to be my patron. Obviously this did not happen, and I never exposed my works in a square. On the contrary, I was working in a gallery, an enclosed space, a little bit dead and sacred. By then, I remember in college we were studying different artists who performed in public interventions (Greco, Bony, Grippo, Minujin, etc.).. This new format struck me, and I guess somehow I managed to appropriate it. Today there are so many tools to express that it is important to choose with which ones work and what materials to use to express my ideas in the most authentically as possible. In fact, the Path- holes Project is a research that connects painting, drawing, photography, performance and sculpture. Path Holes project began in 2006 and extends to the present. In regard to the decisions needed to be develop and take shape, this work has taken me a long time, but not only at a practical level. During the last years, I worked at the service of authentic feeling of the need to continue to deploy the project, seamlessly and for very short periods. Therefore, this paper is organized into chapters, which correspond to the stages of project implementation. In each chapter, the intention is to move through the different questions that arose and continue to emerge in the process of my work.
