"The audience" / Emiliano Jimenez

A piece I created for the CLI conservatory in 2021, reflecting on the way we let external validation control our decisions and criteria, and how absurd and tired it is to live a life always waiting for the "applause". treating it almost like an addiction.

"if they applaud, that means they like it. Right?
what if they don't?
i´ll do anything.
i´ll give them what they want."
