2011 / Performance
Drawing on the symbolism of the kiss throughout art history and adopting a gesture characteristic of hippie counterculture, I carried out this action with an American artist on the street dividing the U.S. Interests Section and the Anti-Imperialist Tribune in Havana—a neutral point within the tense bilateral relationship established since 1959. For one minute we consummated a kiss to contrast, through spontaneity and subtlety, individual stories with History.
