02/07/2025. Yashira Davalos reviews Blas Isasi´s 1,001,532 CE and Didier William´s Gesture to home for Prospect.6, New Orleans.
"Perhaps as Prospect’s harbinger is searching for home, it’s suggesting that the temporalities of time and site require a visual context for what ground zero means. And what it would take to alchemize into a state that is uninterrupted by man. For home in pantomime, may only exist in the diasporic body’s performance. History can not be rewritten, and must be resurfaced to continue, the day ecology takes over. A very important lesson narrated by New Orleans herself."
