Life in His Mouth, Death Cradles Her Arm (2016)
From night to dawn, Ramírez-Figueroa holds a shrouded block of ice until it melts to create a ‘blanket that could weep.’ This performance was made after the death of the artist’s brother and can be seen as a reflection of the high mortality rate of children in Guatemala as a result of the Civil War. He stands in the passageway of General Cemetery in Guatemala City, where burial plots can be rented if people cannot afford to buy a plot - suggesting that for some, even these places of rest are temporary.

Print of Sleep (2016)
Print of Sleep 2016 is a is a single-channel video with sound of a durational performance by Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa. Edited down to a little under eighteen minutes for the video, the performance was originally presented at the sixth edition of the biennial event If I Can’t Dance I Don’t Want To Be Part of Your Revolution, Amsterdam in 2016 and again at KunstWerke in Berlin, where this video was filmed. It depicts a predominantly empty white room with a number of bare metal-framed beds with wire-mesh supports, some double-tiered, and lit underneath by fluorescent tubes that are placed across the space.

Blue Abstraction (2012)
Blue Abstraction 2012 is a single-channel video with sound of a performance by Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa. Shot in a continuous take that lasts just under six and a half minutes, it shows a young man standing motionless by a dirt road in the middle of a landscape. He is approached by the artist who carries with him a can of blue paint and paintbrush. He applies paint in broad brushstrokes across the clothes and body of the man until his entire form is covered. The video ends with the artist walking away and the figure continuing to stand still. Ramírez-Figueroa’s use of blue paint is a reference to the history of early black and white cinema, which utilised the tendency for the film stock to turn blue objects white by covering figures in the colour to create the impression that they had disappeared.
