“For the edition of Toronto Nuit Blanche 2018, I fell attracted by the possibility of making the installation of “Walk among worlds”(*) in Scarborough Town Center and including, as a parallel event, a performance to be carried out by many volunteers. According to a choreography that we’ll develop, the volunteers will carry dry trees in the same manner that flag-bearers carry flags (**). The connection between “Walk among worlds” -colorful multi-sized breathing globes which portray the contemporary political division of the planet- next to a ‘parade’ of volunteers carrying dry trees as if they were carrying flags, can produce a powerful awakening of ecological, political, social, and artistic dimensions.” – Maximo Gonzalez for L’officiel USA.
(*) “Walk among worlds” was presented at Enredados in Casa de America, Madrid (2011), Fowler Museum UCLA, Los Angeles CA (2012), Casa Tomada, San Salvador (2013), Scotiabank Toronto Nuit Blanche (2014), Hospicio Cabañas, Guadalajara, MX (2014), GACX Xalapa, Veracruz, MX (2015), Chalk The Block, El Paso TX (2015), Inlight, Richmond, VA (2017)

(**) “Flag-bearers” (Manifesto (flagman trees)) was supported by the Lucas Artists Program at Montalvo Arts Center and premiered in July 2016 as part of the outdoor exhibition Five Hour Sculpture.
