Dolores from 10h to 22h

Net.performance by Coco Fusco and Ricardo Dominguez
Presented by Kiasma, Helsinki’s Museum of Contemporary Art
November 22, 2001 
When we got to the door they started going through our things. They found the
questionnaires in my purse and didn’t let me in to work. They took me straight
to the office, they shut me in the office to interrogate me, to scare me, and
to threaten me. They asked me what political party I belonged to, if I was a
revolutionary, as if I were a guerrilla, as they said. They were threatening
me, and frightening me  and I did get scared because they said they were
going to call the police, that they were going to arrest me. 
Delfina Rodriguez, maquiladora worker in Tijuana, Mexico Dolores 
from 10h to 22h is based on the testimony of Delfina Rodriguez, whom
Coco Fusco interviewed in 1998. This net.performance is simulated 
evidence that will be streamed via surveillance cameras to your screen.
