The performance is exactly what the title says: it is a guided tour around the work of an artist who does not produce any works. The monologue was written by García in 2009. Its starting point was her reading of Jean-Yves Jouannais’ book: Artistes sans oeuvres: I would prefer not to (1997), where an answer is sought to an impossible question: How to perform the radical artistic act par excellence, producing nothing, and remain at the same time within the artistic practice? The monologue is structured like a guided tour in five stops, the last one being the same as the first.
First performed at Fondation Ricard, Paris (2009)
