Pía Remedios
Plenas, 1950s. Sculptor and draftsman. Art studios between Zaragoza, London, Murcia and Barcelona. She only works with recycled old clothes from the household waste, such as kitchen rags, dust, table clothes, curtains, sheets, work clothes, clothes that have made a long journey through the daily life of the author and the collective and family memory of those who have been forced to leave their place of origin.
Pía Remedios, is the one who represents the true «alter ego» of Marga. In it she incorporates her own history, her names hidden in the birth certificate, which at the same time are those of their respective grandmothers.
«When an artist, expresses through his heteronyms, that is to say, personalities created and thought like others, alludes surely at that true emotion at a true expression of what talks Pessoa when says: feign is to know oneself.
Multiple and varied should be the motifs that motivated at Marga Ximenez, at creating his heteronyms. Parallel transits that permitted her a game that the identity prison does not permit». (Of the text “Plural like the univers”, of Nora Ancarola.)
