Descripción del Artista

Statement “¿Adopta el trauma un único punto de vista, como si fuera un monólogo, o se extiende más allá del silo de la psique, merodeando por entornos narrativos, interacciones sociales e incluso por concepciones de un yo fragmentado?” escribe la comisaria Laurel V. McLaughlin. Centrándome en temáticas de visión, transformación y genealogías feministas, mi obra emplea la escultura, el video y la performance con el fin de imaginar una subjetividad que pueda ser a la vez fragmentaria y total. Mis proyectos parten de las nociones de subjetividad y punto de vista y reflexionan sobre cambios abruptos de perspectiva, como por ejemplo, la transmutación en elementos no humanos, la agencia de distintos objetos en la formación de subjetividades particulares, y la relación entre autor, víctima y narrador del trauma. Me interesa forzar al espectador a realizar gestos, a veces violentos, pero necesarios para hacer explícita su doble condición de voyeur y de objeto. --- “Does trauma take a singular point of view, like a monolog? Or does it stretch beyond the silo of the psyche, skulking into narrative environments, social interactions, and even conceptions of a fragmented selfhood?” writes curator Laurel V. McLaughlin. Focusing on themes of vision, transformation, and feminist legacies, my practice employs sculpture, video, and performance to imagine a subjecthood that is as much fragmented as it is whole. When exploring ideas of subjectivity and point of view, my projects often reflect on abrupt changes in perspective, such as the transition between human and non-human, the agency of objects to shape particular subjectivities, or the constantly shifting relations between perpetrator, victim, and narrator. Forcing viewers to perform the sometimes violent gestures necessary to look at the work, my sculptural language aims at making explicit the double condition of spectatorship as both voyeur and object.
