10/24/16 - The sylphs are  spirits, objects of our imagination, which mediate between the living and the dead, the possible and the impossible. "Sylphs" is also the name that Cecilia Bengolea and Francois Chaignaud gave to their performance at Carlos Mota's exhibition Requiem, during the second meeting of La Internacional Cuir. The artists, with another performer, presented themselves on the ground floor of the MALBA last Friday, with a special device that would allow them to control their breathing while suspending all other vital functions to a minimum. The aim was to achieve a new understanding of the human body, of its life and death.
