Radical Presence: Just Being LatinX 2021: Coming Home. These are things that have never been seen as, nor documented as performance art. A Latinx documenting his own life, rather than what society has determined he should create. This is not the latinx artist as societally approved revolutionary, as standardized stereotype, as a "Bandido with a heart of gold," etc., but rather being true to his own vision and for once, just being--perhaps the most revolutionary act that a person of "colors" can

Just Being: Dematerialized (Can you have a performance with no body present) #1: This Performance begins to answer the question "Can you have a performance with no body present," in this first answer to the question the camera--essentially the audience's eye is turned outward through a window, away from the artist, who in this first tentative step is still mostly present through a reflection, spoken description and presence behind the camera.

Performance From the Foot of my bed #2: Return of the Dum Dum Boy: "I'm Dying." Perhaps my darkest and most personal performance so far, ressurecting the DUM DUM BOY from my very first performance. The Dum Dum Boy is pure ID with no superego to keep him in check. In this performance the Dum Dum Boy expresses the fear that we are all undergoing at this point in time.
Performance From the Foot of my Bed #1: Dada Death - Song From the Heart. The Dada Death is back singing from the heart, but are things what they seem? Is there in truth no beauty? Is there in beauty no truth?
