Yegua-yeta-yuta, 2018Natural two-tone silk, stitched linen + Audio380 × 150 cm (149 5⁄8 × 59 1⁄16 inches)
Yegua-yeta-yutais an installation that comprises a sound piece of Azpilicueta’s voice reciting the list of misogynist insults as in the homonymous performance and a series of natural linen and silk textiles embroidered with some of the voiced offenses. When listening to the audio piece, one notices how the harsh meaning of the words contrast with their subtle materiality of the embroidering act, a technique often associated with minor arts and female labour.
