This work comprises a series of three videos, which depict two events that happened while doing this media research in Buffalo, NY. In this work, I simultaneously narrate my fake attempt to apply for naturalization while portraying the process of producing a film about María de Buenos Aires, an 87-year-old Argentinean tango singer and immigrant, also known as "La Gata" (The Cat). My narration about the application for naturalization constitute a form of mediation that aid in answering questions about Gata.

"The fragmentation of the body as a site of resistance," es una serie de tres videos que presentan dos eventos recientes en mi vida en Búfalo, NY. Por un lado, hago una narración de mi intento fallido por obtener ciudadanía norteamericana y además expongo el proceso de documentación y realización de una película sobre María de Buenos Aires, una cantante de tango, inmigrante de Argentina de 87 años de edad, conocida como "La Gata".
