What is a Ekidna?

Don Juan: 
Págame mi tiempo con tu tiempo.

Carlos Castaneda



The Ekidna are animals that are part of the family of the monotremes, and they are beings that share characteristics of mammals and reptiles, they are unique beings.

The performance is also called EKIDNA. The event takes place anywhere with a thread, one continue line creates the form without cutting it. Its duration is limited.
The Ekidna rite begins with the creation of his being by wire, by drawing on the wall or floor. After living his appearance in a farewell ritual is undone, it vanishes.

Ekidna: Siren, Náyade. 2m x 1m. Bogotà, Colombia. March 2013
Ekidna reflects as the ephemeral, the subtle, invisible and visible, detachment of the work ... When the thread returns to its place, the matter is donated to someone present, to take the line drawing in his pocket, in exchange for a hug.
