Kallfü Füdo is a photograph of an installation made using two stones, one from the United States and the other from the south of Chile, connected by a kallfü (blue) thread. The installation is a counter-monument made during the first months of the pandemic in 2020, when physical travel was not possible. I was transported to Cañete, a place where I have the most beautiful memories, the territory of my ancestors and the grandparents I never met.

I used Google Earth to travel virtually intervening graffiti-like in its seemingly neutral geographies with personal stories. Following my memories, I created and recreated routes by drawing lines of familiar routes recalling joyful memories until a long umbilical cord emerged connecting my home in San Francisco with my paternal grandparent's house in Cañete.
