Reptil Cyborg en Museo de la Neomudéjar
El proyecto Reptil Cyborg es ahora parte de una muestra en el Museo de la Neomudéjar en Madrid. Las obras son el resultado de la residencia Karstica en Cañada del Hoyo España.
Reptil Cyborg busca estrategias de deterritorialización y desplazamiento para cuestionar la noción de representación, de naturalidad y de humanidad a través de su transformación. Usando estrategias que varían desde lo virtual hasta lo material, el conjunto pretende de manera paródica, proponer la autodeterminación como modo de resistencia, organizada como una forma de producción de subjetividades alternativa a la hegemónica.
Esta participación fue posible gracias al patrocinio del Centro Cultural Español en Costa Rica y la red ArtSpain.
The Flesh Pierced.
December 15, 2021.
London, Ambika P3, November 24th - December 2nd
This exhibition was the culmination of the renowned course of Photography Arts at the University of Westminster. My Master’s Degree exhibition included two large format prints, part of my series The Flesh Pierced and a performance video reel that included work from the series Recipes for self-production. I presented 2 printed works from this series, using Hanhemülhe German Etching paper. I chose to hang it with nails and keep the materiality of the paper exposed, as it closely emulated the vulnerability of flesh I aimed for. A series of video arts and performances were displayed on the right side. This contingency made the printworks work in tandem with the video work, aimed to be interpreted as a whole and to drive the conceptual core to the intended narrative.
The video reel shows 4 works, shifting between video art and registered performance. I recorded my own body being operated in the same way I handled objects, the analogy made a reference to a subject that is also an object and is in tension with the same constructive forces as objects are. I used objects to transform my body, implying that the subject/object division is rather arbitrary and that we exist in the conditions of contextuality and in the limits of our own materiality.
