suela que se expone al
fracaso la masa de noches
el adoquín falta y hace fallar
hacia el fondo en silencio
galáctico
sólo así pasa cada pie tras
cada pie
sucedo al horizonte acelerando
dejándome la piel en cada ropa y
quiero un trabajo acalorado
que me haga perder la vida
y me sonría el descanso cada minutillo
tengo un trabajo
que me hace saltar al suicidio de las llamaradas
el desembarco en la playa del éxito
bombardeo de ruinas
recuerdo dónde
pero no el sitio exacto
siempre cada día alguna vez

Views of the installation.
Siempre cada día alguna vez is a photographic, sculptural, and sound installation that explores notions related to the uninhabitability of urban spaces—spaces that are suddenly and frequently transformed, not only altering the movement of inhabitants but also the routes of transportation. Seen from the surface, the work resembles a kind of trench with even less room for bodies, which served as a pretext to develop warlike analogies referring to the reconquest of habitable space and the effort involved in re-signifying places usurped by power. The city rises imposingly as a parcelled ruin, segregating its inhabitants and condemning them to move toward collapsed workspaces—an imaginary evoked through a blurred atmosphere that seems to have been dredged from the entrails of an anonymous worker.
