The protagonist in hey du. played and portrayed by artist Paula Godinez talks directly from her dark bedroom into her computer´s webcam. The work explores intimacy through the lens of vulnerability as a means of connection. Throughout the work we see the artist deconstruct vulnerability into notions of fear, learning, and change. Provoked by a recent earthquake in the artist’s home country of Mexico, the work is a result of the desire to engage in open and honest discussion with the significant people in their life. In the process of revisiting sites of trauma the artist reclaims canonical notions of vulnerability being associated to weakness and turns these notions into the source of the works agency. Godinez explores a context of direct intimacy that would not be possible without the introduction of technology into contemporary models of communication. The artist is physically separated from the viewer formulating a site of safety that allows the artist to communicate, to have a voice. Consisting of an unedited single take, low quality recording altered only by the technology it passes through. It is this process that Godinez aims to highlight the connection between technology as a tool to create new forms of non-physical intimacy. The artist invites you to use this as a starting point, a vessel in order for you to project onto and reflect through your own relation to vulnerability, in this sense the work acts as a transcript for the potentiality of new narratives around intimacy.
