"The body is our way to be in the world, the body is our general medium for having a world"
Phenomenology of perception.
M. Merleau-Ponty

ARTISTIC STATEMENT
THE IMMEDIATE BODY
The body as a laboratory / as a battle ground: is through the knowing of one's own body that one can rethink and reorganise the inherited configurations of perception and transform the different realities. Acknowledging the body and mind hierarchies one can navigate through different paradigms of perception and open new doors of existing and interacting in the environment.
I use these elements as tools that I apply to deal with inner and external sensitive experiences, as a way to develop a body and mind awareness about the structures that shape behavior, and perception. Testing the limits of the anatomy, and imagination not only in a self-analyze but also regarding the community, social and nature environment in order to challenge their resilience and transformative capacity.
