Para Ser Feliz, 2007
The video Para Ser Feliz explores the use of simplistic advices that come from femenine magazines, used by the readers as prescriptions to reach an ideal life. In the video a young woman walks by the nocturnal streets of the Santurce and Hato Rey boroughs of Puerto Rico with a megaphone in hand announcing a list of guides of things to do in order to obtain happiness in life. The phrases, inspired by New Age philosophies like Zen and Feng Shui, have been altered and turned into absurd sentences that accentuate the comedic-tragic thing of this peculiar act. Far from surrendering before her pathetic luck, the young woman, with her firm and challenging walk, becomes a heroic and provoking being.
