Maya Watanabe, No Name, installation view
In her work Maya Watanabe tries to shed light on the forces that can penetrate the lives of people: natural or social forces that overtake observation, the imagination and memory. She does this in video installations which have a distinctly immersive quality. Her most recent work, Bullet (2021), is situated within the context of the national trauma that resulted from a violent period in Peru lasting from 1980 to 2000, the effects of which remain palpable to this day. Bullet constitutes an indictment of arbitrary executions and the political and judicial vacuum in which crimes go unpunished due to a lack of transparency. Most of the murders by the military were carried out with firearms. Bodies were hidden or made to disappear so that they could not be identified. Since that time, many human remains have been found, but these cannot be identified and hover, as it were, within the status ‘NN’, which means ‘No Name’. For this project Watanabe has collaborated with the Peruvian Forensic Team. She ‘documents’ the inside of a skull of an unidentified person who was killed by a bullet from a firearm.
