"Poems of a single line" is an artistic intervention, inspired by the work of the Brazilian writer Manoel de Barros, and proposes the creation of a collective work in the form of a single line poem on a large spool. Passers-by are invited by the artists to write whatever their experience inspires them, being encouraged to continue the last participant's phrase or to start a new “line of thought”, always along the same line.
         The “the same line” is conceptual, like the lined notebook line or a text and also literal, like sewing thread. The effect is achieved by using as a writing support a “line” made with fabric cut about 3 cm high and a spool prepared for this scale.
         During the intervention, the line that unfolds with the words of the participants, written or embroidered, spreads through the environment creating lines on the floor, climbing trees and furniture, poetizing the space. The idea is to make with many a giant insignificancy, a book without a cover for everyone and anyone, taking up spaces as the line unfolds.
           The result is a fragment of zeitgeist, wrapped again in a spool containing an immense one-line poem or several poems in a single line, depending only on who reads it.
         It is a pleasure to send this work for your evaluation. Congratulations for the third BIENALSUR and thanks for the opportunity.
