Deformation and material effort


Espacio O, 2019. Santiago, Chile.
 

Deformation and material effort is part of the solo show "Resistance" which follows a line of work around natural disasters that I have been investigating for several years at a technical-scientific, social, material and visual level, giving rise to a series of exercises of strength, studies of movement and considerations about the link between disaster, technology and subject.

The exhibition stems from a local research, taking our country as a terrain whose geographical location gives rise to a constant of natural events transformed into disasters when they affect material and human life. Particularly, Resistencia is in a first stage of research related to earthquakes, as events that generate great changes, drying lakes through fissures, creating mountains, generating new landscapes, and how these natural changes relate to the subject through disaster.

"In the exhibition the artist takes from scientific studies based on natural disasters, generating a series of exercises to understand the origin of these events, using media such as video, drawing, mechanical constructions, digital and analog technologies. With some of her works the artist takes the side of nature, exposing disasters as small revenge against the subject and technologization of natural processes, which have been directly intervening the course of nature as an act of absolute manipulation of programming." Alessandra Buroto, Museum of Contemporary Art.
