"47 jours (47 days) is a proposal born because the failure of not being able to work with a group of prostitutes in the city of Montreal. According my professional responsibility and a collective decision made by sex workers, we agreed a cooperation for the project, making the decision to continue with a proposal that relates my experience as an artist with prostitution, in a working environment and service delivery. The name of the project takes the number of my days during my stay in Montreal. It is structured as a diary of the residence, based on a methodology of work to create from my invention and subjectivity and through a fictional mapping of prostitution in the city.The schedule of locations is made with the responses to a question posed to pedestrians in the city you show me where to find a prostitute? With the options discussed in terms of plans decided at random places in the city to construct a narrative that after following three conditions: static shots, no recordings of people and natural light. The names and dates are illustrations of the process of work, the dates of the elaboration and the names of participants."
