Miguel Gane, uno de los poetas m s le dos de su generaci n, reflexiona sobre las personas que poseen nuestro coraz n, sobre c mo, a trav s del amor, nos ponemos en manos de otros hasta tal punto de que quien te cura tambi n te acaba hiriendo. En el a o 1974, la artista serbia Marina Abramovi# coloc alrededor de su cuerpo setenta y dos objetos divididos en dos categor as: objetos de placer y objetos de dolor.

Cuentan que Abramovi# estuvo a punto de perder la vida. Al fin y al cabo, lo f cil siempre fue hacer da o. Al fin y al cabo, lo dif cil siempre es amar. Decir puedes hacerme lo que quieras es una invitaci n al da o, pero tambi n es un gesto de confianza ciega, es decir, de entrega. Con el hilo conductor de aquella puesta en escena, Miguel Gane, uno de los poetas m s le dos de su generaci n, reflexiona sobre las personas que poseen nuestro coraz n, sobre c mo, a trav s del amor, nos ponemos en manos de otros hasta tal punto de que quien te cura tambi n te acaba hiriendo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONMiguel Gane, one of the most widely read poets of his generation, reflects on the people who own our hearts and how, through love, we give others the power to hurt us even as they make us whole. In 1974, Serbian performance artist Marina Abramovic surrounded herself with seventy-two objects, divided into two categories: pleasure and pain. She invited her audience to use them on her body, thereby transforming it into just one more object. Her goal was to observe how humans behaved when faced with defenselessness. By the end of the performance, it is said Abramovic's very life was in danger. Ultimately, inflicting pain was the easy part. The hardest thing is always love. To say "do what you want with me" is an invitation to pain, but also a gesture of blind trust, of submission. Using Abramovic's performance as his reference point, Miguel Gane, one of the best-known poets of his generation, reflects on the people who own our hearts and how, through love, we give others the power to hurt us even as they make us whole.
