It’s something I like very much: a poster by Hélio Oiticica that was used to promote a book by a friend of mine, Irene Small.I was born here and grew up here, so my first job was babysitting. My first desk job was as a fact-checker for The American Lawyer magazine, and that was pretty horrific. I lasted less than a year. Steve Brill was the editor, and it was a very toxic, repressive environment. I talked to lawyers all day long and discovered how aggressive and argumentative they can be.
I’m working on a video that’s based on a story of someone who was imprisoned as a teenager in Cuba for writing a poem in the 1970s. At the prison, there’s a cement factory, and everything in the prison is cement: the walls, the ground, everything. How do you create a world in the video that resembles that sort of starkness and grayness? But gray isn’t my favorite color.Most of what I have on my walls are images that have been gifted to me by other artists.
