The return of a lake<\/a>\u201d resulta d’una decisi\u00f3: viatjar a la localitat de Chalco l\u2019any 2009 per investigar els or\u00edgens de la fortuna d’\u00cd\u00f1igo Noriega Laso, un asturi\u00e0 proper al dictador Porfirio D\u00edaz i que va emigrar a M\u00e8xic l\u2019any 1867 tornant-se el segon home m\u00e9s ric del pa\u00eds. A Noriega se li ofereix un negoci temptador: assecar el llac de Chalco, als afores de Ciutat de M\u00e8xic per tornar-lo terra cultivable. Amb la primera collita Noriega havia guanyat un mili\u00f3 de pesos. Els habitants del poble de Xico, a la vora del llac, emigren a una nova localitat, avui anomenada Xico Nuevo. Ja al 1908 el llac havia deixat d’existir. La Ciutat de M\u00e8xic \u00e9s avui una de les m\u00e9s seques del m\u00f3n.<\/p>\nAlves posa diferents conflictes en contacte, entre ells: el llac que desapareix al 1908 i el que ressorgeix a principis del segle XXI, canviant el paisatge, posant en risc al nou ecosistema; un museu a Ast\u00faries que rendeix honors a l’explotador Noriega Laso, i un museu comunitari a Chalco intentant recopilar fragments i explicar la hist\u00f2ria de l’origen i del despla\u00e7ament. Per mitj\u00e0 d’entrevistes a pobladors com el \u201cchalca\u201d Raymundo Mart\u00ednez; al mateix director del museu de Xico, Genaro Amaro Altamirano -un investigador d’origen nahua- i a l’anciana Macaria Mart\u00ednez, ex-propiet\u00e0ria d’un dels terrenys cedits a Noriega Laso, Alves re-contextualitza sabers que s\u00f3n desvetllats amb ajuda de m\u00e8todes etnogr\u00e0fics. Desencadena aix\u00ed una cartografia de la hist\u00f2ria i el present, on l’aigua s’escola per les escletxes de les prec\u00e0ries vivendes auto-constru\u00efdes, dels cabals d’aigua-pluja i aig\u00fces negres que inunden els carrers estrets i buits d’una nova naturalesa.<\/p>\n
El projecte es va presentar a la Documenta 13 de Kassel, mentre una acci\u00f3 feia dialogar protocol, den\u00fancia i acci\u00f3 d’art: A l’octubre del 2012 Genaro Amaro Altamirano viatja a Colombres, Ast\u00faries, per lliurar oficialment l\u2019informe sobre la destrucci\u00f3 del llac i el paper protagonista de Noriega Laso en el proc\u00e9s, aix\u00ed com el mateix llibre al director de l’Arxiu d’Indians i Museu de l’Emigraci\u00f3 – que es troba a la ciutat natal de l’explotador i s’allotja a casa natal. El gest \u00e9s un ritu. No de pacificaci\u00f3, sin\u00f3 de re-emerg\u00e8ncia. Alves declararia: “Aquest \u00e9s un excel\u00b7lent moment perqu\u00e8 Europa pugui fer front a les seves hist\u00f2ries colonials”.<\/p>\n
“The Return of a Lake” \u00e9s dipositari d’un proc\u00e9s m\u00faltiple: intervenir en la din\u00e0mica local de la comunitat, donant-li veu en l’espai del llibre. Rescatant la ret\u00f2rica de les cartes de relaci\u00f3 del segle XVI, els t\u00edtols del llibre fan l’exposici\u00f3 de l’ab\u00fas. Aqu\u00ed un parell: “\u00cd\u00f1igo Noriega no era un bon home i era dolent amb els seus treballadors”, “Algunes coses dolentes que s’estan fent al llac avui dia”.<\/p>\n
L’obra no \u00e9s nom\u00e9s registre i reorganitzaci\u00f3 d’una mem\u00f2ria del present (esgotat, creixent en la sublimaci\u00f3 de l’escassetat). Alves mostra la falla, exigeix la restituci\u00f3. Reescriu hist\u00f2ries: el llac que desapareix i torna, el museu que den\u00fancia i el que honora, el reeixit indi\u00e0 i el que calla. A tots els uneix i separa un desert: l’Atl\u00e0ntic i el silenci.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
