Una Diréccion

Several metallic bollards, held together by braids of synthetic hair, form a set of beacons demarcating a route similar to those designed to control the flow of access in public places. Una Dirección discusses the woman as a commodity, both through experiences such as prostitution and fashion, which are timeless and cross-cultural phenomena. This frail artificiality of the feminine dimension - hinted at by the use of long braids of synthetic hair - would apparently only be legitimised through the wishes of the visitors. Following the route would depend on our availability.
