CUERPOS

CUERPOS is the first of a series of projects dedicated to the exploration of diverse strategies to address topics related to difficult knowledge and in particular, gender-based violence. Through an atmosphere filled with haunting motionlessness and an eerie fragility, this artwork reflects on the aftereffects of trauma and the strength and resistance of the body. CUERPOS proposes a dialogue between the body and a landscape in order to explore trauma as an invisible wound that affects body and the space around us.

Trauma is a scar on memory. What happens on the surface of the earth is closely connected to what happens underground. It is a profound rupture in everyday life, attacking the self from the outside, impacting its surface and tearing its skin. Trauma is an inherited wound that builds subterranean psychological states, making the solid footage uncertain and occasionally causing the earth above to collapse.
