“Hasta que la muerte nos separe”
“Until Death Do Us Part”
Guatemala, 1999
Wedding rings, Wedding album, Nails
Dimensions variable
Installation of nails, wedding rings on cushion, and folder with delivery notes of bought nails from the most well known gift registry store in Guatemala.
The word “nails” in Spanish translates as “clavos,” which is also referred in Guatemala’s slang as "problems." This project was made with Jessica Lagunas, and we wanted to point out the difficulties in marriages, something that most newlyweds may seem to forget when preparing or planning their weddings.
