Porcelain Diaries, 2003. Digital video, variable dimensions. Duration: 00:10:51.<br />
THIS PROJECT CAME OUT OF AN<br />
INTEREST IN THE AESTHETICS OF<br />
CARIBBEAN INTERIOR DÉCOR AND<br />
IN PARTICULAR THE COMMONLY<br />
FEATURED COFFEE TABLE OR MESITA<br />
DE SALA. I FOUND THAT THE OBJECTS<br />
AND FIGURINES COLLECTED ON THE<br />
TABLES REVEALED A PECULIAR<br />
DISCOURSE BETWEEN THE PUBLIC<br />
AND PRIVATE. DIFFERENT FROM THE<br />
RELIGIOUS ALTARS, I SAW THESE<br />
“DECORATIVE ALTARS” AS ANOTHER<br />
TYPE OF ENGAGEMENT WITH THE<br />
SACRED, THE INTIMATE AND THE<br />
RITUAL.<br />
