(con tener) cuerpo, 2023-2024
This project began as an investigation into packaging materials, such as fruit nets and bubble wrap, during a three-month working period at Wilde Weten in Rotterdam. I find it fascinating that these objects seem to belong nowhere and everywhere. No one sees them, but they can be found everywhere. Because they are such mundane everyday objects , their meaning almost slips away, and I find it interesting to delve into such objects and treat them as special, worthy of study. I use the various outcomes of the research to create site-specific installations in which the various components activate each other. I used this work period to explore the relationship between sculpture and video performance. Whereas before I had moulded everyday objects in plaster, I now created new and abstract forms that I ultimately used both as stand-alone sculptures and as partners in physical improvisations.
