This short video fragment is part of the last chapter of the Trilogy "The Day We surrender to the air" and project Piertopolis in which I travel to different parts of the world in search of my DNA ancestral origins.

This last episode is called The Legend of Billy MacLean from Norway, to honor a mythic figure of the Caribbean history of my home Panama. The travel of this mythic figure coincidence with my DNA ancestry.

The images of the documentary will be used in a multimedia installation for project Piertopolis.

Piertopolis is an International art project to link and engage people from all around the world to an utopian nation. By means of participation and collective interaction with the installations and website, we are offering a platform for people to connect to a new visual imaginary network.

Piertopolis as a project will present two sculptures who are part of a monumental installation to be presented next year in Den Hague's Gemak in De Vrije academie and in Rush Arts Gallery in NYC.

Sculpture #1 Influenced by African Art and Sculpture # 2 Influenced by Guzman Expedition to the Polar Circle are presented in different spaces, The Tolhuistuin and De Kromhout Museum, both connected to the harbor of Amsterdam.

In this sculptures/instllation the artists play with a multi dynamic monumental architectonic sculptures that will be part of the installation in Den Hague and NYC 2012.

In the sculptures are images of Guzman's expedition to the Polar circle, in this videos and photos the artist evoke Joseph Beuys ideas of "artists as a shamans and a social reformers".

Piertopolis call for an utopian great mental migration to Piertopolis, the Ideal City, The Utopian sculptures of Piertopolis are an attempt to improve the conventional city, like this the artists try to find a way for a transcultural humanism.
