During the 2019 social explosion in Chile, an iconic monument in the center of Santiago was constantly defaced, recontextualizing it according to the social demands of that day. Rather than taking the whole structure down, the monument was removed but the pedestal and mausoleum for an anonymous soldier was left intact and continuously activated by art actions. The idea of altering the reading of a monument or its support triggered the creation of Tilted Paradigm, a tilted pedestal that sinks through floor and wall to create and tilt the icon of a house. The project brings together in one body, mass-produced materials with hand crafted, millenary, and slow traditions that point to the migration of culture, capitalism and labor. There are earbuds embedded in the fresco walls that when approached whisper narratives of migration.
