(Pictured above is the artwork by Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Untitled, from the series When I am not Here, Estoy alla. The artist used her own body to map out feelings of translocation from place to place. The bilingual title is in half-Spanish and means When I am not Here, I am There. She stands with her eyes closed, as though transported between territories while holding on to her Afro-Caribbean talismans. © María M. Campos-Pons. Dye diffusion transfer print (1996).
