Starting today, I, Carlos Salazar Lermont, Venezuelan
artist, curator, producer and teacher, commit to adjust to a severe austerity
regime, based on avoiding any kind of vain expense in daily life. Any exception
will be documented and justified. This spent cut aims to save for reaching
higher goals, more meaningful for personal fulfilling.
The performance seeks to reflect on the effectiveness of
austerity regimes to which undeveloped countries are forced to fit their
economies. The personal scale acts as a analogy of the macro economic systems
that significantly affect our lives as citizens. Its failure or success hopes
to aid the politic stand of individuals on that matter.
