Abstract: Installation artist Goic (b. Chile) latest work, VideoTremens, is a mixture between fantasy and reality. Goic calls us to the window of the bookstore. Instead of bestsellers according to the rankings, visitors will see two monitors, placed on a bed of red hardcover books, VideoTremens between fantasy and reality -with images of the guillotine cuts made to the leaves of the book. Usually the machine will cut the edges to leave them smooth. Goic when installing, the machine cuts directly on the faces of eight alcoholics who originated the work. The strips of paper with the different cuts are available for the public to take home. Those who also buy the book (after all, is a bookstore), you will find attached to the top of a DVD that allows see-through window, inches from interviews with eight alcoholics who answer three questions: What your memories of your mother, What are your memories of your father?, what are your memories of the 1973 coup? VideoTremens between fantasy and reality is not a visual art displayed in a vitrine. It is in itself a showcase and conceptual work.
