Poetry out of the circuit:
The act of presence in freedom of action
- performative reading by Diego Maquieira
30th Bienal Sao Paulo - September 2012
Performance, Diego Maquieira, poesia, poema
Poet Diego Maquiera did
a performative reading of Annapurna,
his poem based on images
sourced from public archives,
especially conceived for the 30th Bienal.
A self-taught poet and visual artist,
Maquieira published a number of books of poetry
including Upsilon (1975), Bombardo (1977),
as well as his two best known and fundamental works,
La Tirana (1983) and Los Sea Harrier (1993).
He was also instrumental in the production
of an anthology of Vicente Huidobro’s work
entitled El oxígeno invisible (1991).
He received the Pablo Neruda Prize (1989)
and Enrique Lihn Prize (2004) for poetry.
Around 2004 he was interned
in a psychiatric ward in an attempt
to recover from the alcoholism
which threatened to take his life.
After five months
he abandoned the clinic
and today he dedicates himself
tirelessly to giving himself time.
El Annapurna
is a fundamental book
containing a poemaducto of images
famililar to the public,
derived from a variety of sources,
chosen strictly in line with a vision
and reproduced in photocopies.
The images themselves disrupted
by signal-words and fractal writing
that lacks even a language
and which are divided and dissolved
over the course of a two lane treadmill.
Sound is excluded.
Poetry becomes mute as it was before the verb.
In principle El Annapurna is an open proposal
for a possible model for poetic composition
which ha not yet been subject to proof
and from that point on will be submitted
to total observation.
According to the author,
it is likely that this is poesigrafia
written by swimming towards the Stone Age.
Nothing more.
