Artist: Martin Molinaro, Argentine artist, born on February 1, 1971 in Rafaela, Santa Fe
chose Martin Molinaro, because the line was very interested in following their work, the line that I see as signature in all his performances and photographic series shows the same red dress. Also I find regarding this matter, because his work takes over the space, giving (in my humble opinion) a new significance. For example, his series "Project Akua" , was held in Caracas in a village far from any center of contemporary art, there was installed outside the house of culture in squat, dressed in red and surrounded by one hundred full showers water. He waited until a little girl and wet dared watering a plant, then the spectators cheered. The action lasted three hours, until it emptied the last shower, each spectator took his shower.

Another of his works is "Red Man" , is a series of photographs that record the artist dressed in red with a black briefcase, standing, always the same position in different parts of the world.
RED MAN
There,
is the red man
What do you think the red man?
not move
is standing ...
not advance
not
back has only a suitcase
There is the red man
What's in that bag?
This is your back
So
profile front So
These are your feet
There is the red man
Why not move your feet?
hand
The ear
forehead Eyes open
There is the red man
Where do look?
now moves
Walk comes and goes and comes and goes
not stop
What moves the red man?
not speak
This is your foot
The other foot
Now move your foot with your foot
plays
Now open your bag
pulls a wooden horse
And a red carpet
Why has a wooden horse in your bag?
foot is painted blue
Now jump
Salta
not stop
This is the hub you have in your bag
So
head back So
So
profile What is the meaning of cube?
Now the cube apart
And reassembling
And it apart again
And Arnar again And it apart
And
weapon and disarmed him
And the weapon
What do you think the red man?
is now quiet.
always will.
And there are days more. See ground everywhere. I have a collection of red people.

This poem is in the author's website along with the work.
Another of his series is "Red People" , the idea is the same as "Red Man" , but in this captures people everyday situations that stand out from others by being dressed in red. In this case as a page with this work also found a verse that sums up the intent of the series, as in the previous work:
always will.
And there are days more. See ground everywhere. I have a collection of red people.
