Film still from Melanie Smith's Xilitla 2010
~ I have been obsessed with this artwork since I first saw it at #TateModern, London, UK back in 2010. I feel super happy and honoured to be able to share it again with followers of @art.by.women_women.in.arts, with love, Paulina Poli Palian @poli_pal, aka #PalianShow, founder of Art by Women - Women in Arts.
see:
Melanie Smith, Xilitla, reminder palianshow.wordpress.com/2021/11/11/melanie-smith-xilitla/
"Xilitla 2010 examines the legacies of modernism and the incomplete modernities encountered in Latin America, through the relics and ruins of surrealism." via Tate
Curated by #TanyaBarson.
#MelanieSmith was born in 1965 in Poole. She lives and works in Mexico City.
from the Artist:
"I first became interested in the town of Xilitla after a trip there in 2001. I had heard about the garden called Las Pozas made by this English patron of the arts, Edward James, but as it is so far away from Mexico City I had never managed to get there. In 2009 I felt the need to shift my work from the urban context, and #Xilitla provided the opportunity of still working with architecture yet in a natural environment.
...
Both the film and the painting series are about palimpsests, whereby there is a constant building of layers while they dismantle histories. In general, both in painting and film, I am searching for an unstable, undefined ground that creates potentials."

Fourteen/Noble-Temple Family Headcanons:
-that one time he lets Rose into the TARDIS, she finds polaroids of his advendures with his companions, and sees the funniest pictures of Ten and Donna acting stupid together
-Rose also sees pics of Rose Tyler and she listens to Fourteen talk about her passionately
-when Rose shows the pics to her mom, Donna gets emotional about seeing Ten's baby face again, and she tells her about their adventures
-Fourteen and Donna fight about the real story behind each picture because Donna tends to exaggerate how mature she was compared to Ten, whereas Fourteen tends to underestimate how careless Ten could be
-Sylvia keeps cooking for Fourteen like a grandmother because "he looks like a stick". He pretends to be annoyed but he secretely likes it when the Noble-Temples pamper him
-thursday night is family game night. He lets everyone win except for Donna and it becomes a competition between them
-Shaun gets him into football and they watch the World Cup together almost religiously, getting crazy in front of the television together
-speaking of: the Noble family know the Olympics is a sacred time of the year for Fourteen and they respect that
-he poses with Rose's creations for her pictures on Etsy
-he often sneaks Wilfred's wheelchair into the TARDIS and takes him to see the stars
-him, Rose and Shaun sit together on the sofa watching Donna and Sylvia get into arguments and taking bets on who's gonna get the last word several times a week
-Fourteen bets on Sylvia everytime out of fear
-he becomes a teacher of quantum physics at Univ and the students absolutely love him
-Donna teases him because she knows he has a crush on that other teacher
-but then she gets into full protective dad mode when he asks the Doctor out on a date
-he takes a membership at a reading club and annoys everybody because he can't sit still for more than five minutes and gets into heated arguments with that one member about Shakespeare facts
-they have barbecues with Martha and Mickey
-and the Doctor apologizes for how he treated them back in the day (but especially Martha)
-eventually, Fourteen contacts Jack again and he joins in for the occasional barbecue. After about five minutes being reunited Jack starts calling Fourteen a DILF (we all know he would)
-Donna, Melanie, Martha and Fourteen go to the spa together from time to time as a girl treat
-Rose gets a cat and the cat is obsessed with Fourteen
-and sometimes it sneaks into the TARDIS and they all spend 30 minutes trying to lure him out with treats
-Fourteen sometimes cooks for the family and his cooking skills are incredible (when he manages not to set anything on fire)
-when he and Donna go to Unit work parties (she takes him there as her plus one but he doesn't really work there) they spend the whole evening stuck together gossiping
-and when people come to them to ask about their adventures they start bullshitting in sync and it's just so hard for them not to laugh when they look at each other
-then during the evening they have their own little dance routine
-the TARDIS is decorated with fairylights, stuffed animals made by Rose, little pillows, garlands and pictures
