In the frame of the 4th Anniversary of Contrapedal Records and celebrating the 100 years of the fortune cookies  I developed an intervention with a popular barbecue in the main entrance of this charming/trendy but great event. The installation was based in this traditional half oil barrel used for BBQ  (“medio-tanque”) and a rounded basic plastic table full of ingredients for dressing, from where with Alejandro Torre & Maria Elena de Paula we sold the typical “sandwiches” with sausages called “chorizo al pan” or “choripan”. But this “choripan” include a fortune phrases added inside printed previously in acetate. Poetical sentences about misfortune in some sense. This kind of “performance” ended with the auction of the last “chorizo”.

We were dressing black aprons with the name of the intervention “El chorizo de la fortuna” (fortune chorizo), and the kind of slogan “El futuro está en tus manos” (the future is in your hands) printed in the middle.

No more art, just life.
