Nathalie correspondence by Itzel Aparicio consists of a letter exchange between the artist and spectators.
The second name of Itzel Aparicio is Nathalie and taking this second identity as a starting point, we created a character combining fictional and biographical material. The narrative inside the letters is guided by the following questions: Who is Nathalie? Who is the reader/spectator? Why our parents decided to give us our names?
All the letters are sent by mail service proposing a new relationship between spectator and the artist, bringing back to the present the Pen Pal system of the 60s, a way of communication almost lost nowadays.
During the development of this project two photo performance series were made Nathalie en Buenos Aires and Los amigos porteños de Nathalie.
