Like Pocahontas in the U.S., Malinche was an indian who got married to the colonizer. She was one of the slaves of [Cortez](http://ensembles.mhka.be/items/552) and later his interpreter and mistress; their son was considered the first “mestizo”. This sculpture of La Malinche was assembled using a combination of elements: on the one hand, those typically associated to an “indian” identity, and on the other hand “western” elements like her panties and bra. These opposite poles function as parodies of stereotypes and a metaphor of Malinche’s ambiguous character.\r\n\r\n“It’s a true historical fact, about Cortez, the Spanish conquistador, and Malinche, the Indian woman” - says Jimmie Durham. “But it’s also such a story that it becomes myth as soon as it’s there. The mythical part that is important for us, for me is about what sort of self we have and what sort of other is the other.”\r\n\r\nThis artwork was first called *Pocahontas* at an [exhibition](http://ensembles.mhka.be/events/pocahontas-and-the-little-carpenter-in-london) in 1988, and later, reworked, became *La Malinche*, making a couple with the piece [Cortez](http://ensembles.mhka.be/items/552)."},{"locale":"nl","description":"*La Malinche* was een Mexicaanse vrouw die een belangrijke rol heeft gespeeld in de Spaanse verovering van haar land. Net als Pocahontas in de VS, was Malinche een indiaanse die trouwde met de kolonisator. Ze was een van de slaven van [Cortez](http://ensembles.mhka.be/items/552) en later zijn tolk en minnares; hun zoon werd beschouwd als de eerste 'mestizo'. Dit beeld van La Malinche is samengesteld uit verschillende  elementen: aan de ene kant elementen die meestal geassocieerd worden met een 'Indiaanse' identiteit en aan de andere kant 'westerse' elementen, zoals haar slipje en beha. Deze tegengestelde polen functioneren als parodieën op stereotypen en als metafoor voor het ambigue karakter van Malinche.\r\n\r\n'Het is een waargebeurd historisch feit, over Cortez, de Spaanse conquistador, en Malinche, de Indiaanse', zegt Jimmie Durham. 'Maar het is ook zo'n verhaal dat een mythe wordt zodra het er is.

Ze stonden op een hoopje bijeen in een blok met koffers op de grond. Hier tegenover stonden vrije dieren, elk met een eigen boodschap. Zoals in vele andere werken van Durham (o.a. Gilgamesh), ziet men ook hier de tegenstelling tussen enerzijds cultuur, stad en beschaving en anderzijds natuur, woud, primitiviteit.

'Wees daarom gewaarschuwd dat een verplaatsbare paal het middelpunt van de wereld niet kan ondersteunen. Alleen bomen kunnen dat', schrijft Durham in een tekst die een onderdeel is van de installatie [*The Center of the World or how to Get to Chalma*](http://ensembles.mhka.be/items/3687).
