In Révolution, a performer arrives in the exhibition space and begins to unfold a poster divided in three large parts; slowly, the performer puts together and displays the three parts on the floor. Once the poster is fully spread out, the public can read: Révolution, tiens ta promesse! (Revolution, fulfil your promise!). This sentence was written on a placard which was carried by activist Margarita Robles de Mendoza during a women’s suffrage protest outside the Mexican Chamber of Deputies in 1934. For forty-five minutes, the performer "guards" the poster, subsequently folding it back and leaving. Performed several times through several days, the poster deteriorates and breaks in some areas, progressively becoming more parts than the original three.
