From 12:17 to 13:18, Boddinstrasse, Berlin, Germany
Rocio is originally from Ronda (Málaga) and studied art in Granada. She started a PhD of Language and poetry of contemporary art which she continued in Germany and in Finland, she didn’t finish it because of language barriers. In the daytime she occupies herself with methodic, repetitive and organized activities, mainly work she can do with her hands. Some of those activities include making curtains, renovating the house (in the photo we took together we are scraping old paint off of the windows), and taking care of plants. She likes dead things or things that grow very slowly. Creativity is only possible for her to obtain at night. She always thought that she was born to paint, but hasn’t painted for four years now. She lost respect for art because she thought it was a deception, then she got interested in chiromancy and that gave her back her respect for art and geometry.
She came to Germany because at the young age of 12 she was already fascinated by the German existentialist movement, she made up her mind that Germany was her real homeland and that she had to be here. When she arrived she didn’t find the deepness that she had expected and found herself somewhat disappointed. She is now searching for a way to use her skills here in Berlin.
