Latest project in residence

Retrato de un Monstruo (2016) is a work of bodies without bodies, of men-bugs moving through a jungle of sounds, objects, and other beings that intersect without agreement, without contract. It explores a constant tension between being a body, having a body, and inventing a body; between what is shown, what is hidden, and what is about to emerge.
