CONCEPT (english)
CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) is a disease classified as "rare", difficult to diagnose since it presents a long changing symptomatology and presents different degrees of "outbreaks" of activity.
The piece presents two halves that make up a whole.
In the external part, the symptomatology, the cataloging of the OMS (World Heath Organization) and general aspects of the disease on a salmon-colored surface, which relates it to the human skin and to the exterior of our body, contrasted with the blue texts. The salmon sigillata appears badly applied, covering the letters or the accents, showing the white of the poorly covered porcelain ... symbolizing the apparent "normality" that the affected people try to present to society, when in reality they are sick and the viewer intuits in his look, in the slight imbalance when walking or in the slow movement of the arms, memory problems ... that disrupts this attempt to control and normality built towards the vision of others.
The inner part of the two halves sectioned, have brown and green colors appear texts that tell us about the double problem that faces the patient: on the one hand, the split personality in two, that he is, and that character (the other me), which is the disease itself. The one that constantly directs his activity or the lack of it. That is, it reflects on how the affected face their illness, which is not shown in public.
They also face a part of social prosecution to be forced to give public explanations to a society that surrounds them, which questions from an ethical point of view their work losses, or the legal right to be recognized as their progressive work disability as permanent.
