A short story about my name for the exhibition gFrom G to B to K and Ch by Juan Pablo Plazas
2022, HD video (English audio with Spanish and Japanese subtitles), 8 minutes 37 seconds




Made as a contribution to an exhibition by Juan Pablo Plazas, who were collecting stories regarding peoplefs names.

Drawing on my personal history, this trilingual work performatively formulates why I use the name eLuciana Janaquif, how it is intertwined with my entire practice exploring exchangeability of combinations of hardware (name/body/attributions) and software (memory/identity/experiences) through gaps that arise when memories/individuals migrate, how my working process integrates story-fabrications, etc.
