"I was there” is a live art project where the traditional languages of documentary and found footage manipulation are subverted and updated while blending with the surrealism of live media performance. In the performance I approach the past of western civilization by digitally and lively inserting myself into historical pictures and movies, focusing especially on the universe of female stereotypes. I sabotage my past and culture in a metaphysical scenario that integrates live media and theatre, and I end up by loosing myself while becoming "part of the picture". I was there, because I’m here now. I was there, even before being an idea in the head of my century.
