The Walls of my skin are the limits of my home. (2007-)

This project consists of a creation of a fictional character, Benito Banana, that appears and communicates as a web blog and in the city streets interacting with people and places. He is the personification of a satirical migrant character that reflects on migration. The phrase "A banana from my country can travel easier than me." is the statement used as the foundation of these performances.The use of humor/irony is an important element in order to address the investigation of these themes.
