Regina Jose Galindo - f performance artist neck deep in mud video on YT

Postby MichaelL_Photo » Thu Oct 06, 2022 12:38 pm

Hi Folks,

If this has been posted before, please forgive the duplication.

A female performance artist from Guatemala had herself buried up to her neck in mud, then let folks walk around her in the mud:

Not sinking, but still tangential to our interest.

If you do an image search on her work, you'll see she also buried herself in sand for a performance.

Nice find! While doing the image search I found this page with an embedded video clip of a short documentary of her work. It starts off with a few seconds of her escaping a sand burial then goes straight into a few seconds of her laying on her front with her arms buried straight down in mud. You can't see her legs in the video but I've seen photos of this scene in my image search, and her legs are not buried. https://www.lasexta.com/noticias/cultura/regina-jose-galindo-la-artista-guatemalteca-criticada-por-denunciar-la-desigualdad-con-su-cuerpo-desnudo_2017041858f620ae0cf2278741184f92.html

Please note it takes about 10-12 seconds for the video to actually start playing after you hit the play button. At least it did for me!

Found a better quality video of those two scenes on Vimeo, both are slightly longer in this one too (but not much longer!) https://vimeo.com/213652111

You may need to log in to Vimeo to watch it, but it's free to watch once logged in, and of course it's free to register an account with them.

The sand escape scene starts at 10:08 in the timeline and the scene of her lying with her arms buried starts earlier at 2:38

There's quite a lot of videos of her on Vimeo, and she's done a lot of interesting work. I'm going to keep looking, will update if I find any more! ;)

This may also be of interest here. A rather long video where she appears to be buried up to her neck in a very large pile of concrete/brick rubble and around 10 people are slowly rescuing her by removing one item at a time via a human chain! https://vimeo.com/179299032
