Olga (2019) was produced in Tijuana, Mexico, in November 2018. Doing a residency there, I came across the story of Olga Camacho Martinez. She was brutally murdered as an eight-year-old girl in Tijuana in 1938. Her story caught my attention because her murderer is still venerated as a folk saint today. But hardly anyone remembers Olga anymore. Her case makes it clear, that Feminicidios are not a new phenomenon but have a long history. I wondered how I could remember Olga and other long forgotten victims of gender-based violence. Finally I wrote down short questions and sentences addressed to Olga. I mounted these with adhesive letters on the colourful walls of “Pesaje Revolución”, an old shopping mall in downtown Tijuana. I photographed these small, inconspicuous interventions with flash and color filters, so that the spaces in the pictures loose depth and merge with the text to form a graphic surface. I had planned to present the resulting photographs as posters in public space. This hasn’t been possible yet, instead, I mounted the images on signs, as they are used in demonstrations or processions, and thus presented them in constantly changing constellations at Goethe-Insitut in Mexico City in 2019. 
The queer theorist and philosopher Sayak Valencia, as well as the philosopher Daniel Loick wrote texts about this work and the case of Olga Camacho Martinez, that I would again like to make available, when the work is shown.
