How can we escape our bodies from the isolation of our homes, from the canonical costumbrist modes of the home as a place of peace, refuge, and security? This immersive video piece, created during the context of planetary incarceration due to the COVID 19 pandemic, immerses us in a memento mori, an invented, amniotic space riddled with vulnerable, mutating recesses, questioning the limits of the living, of the human, the horror of the everyday, and the expansiveness of inhabiting. Through performance essays carried out in isolation, the artist digitizes various objects, captures his home with homemade photogrammetry, and creates an incubating postbiological laboratory that expands and unincarcerates the limits of the body, granting unimaginable possibilities to hybrid creatures in communion with the nonhuman. Drawing inspiration from Amazonian worldviews, they imagine ways to escape, emancipate themselves, and resist systems of control and domination.

Visual, new media, and performance artist. Graduated from the National Autonomous University of Fine Arts of Peru (UNABAP) in 2016 with a specialization in Sculpture and Integrated Arts. Her training includes workshops, artist residencies, and ongoing self-directed learning. Her practice constructs alternative systems of reality that function as critical and poetic tools aimed at subverting the politics of control that affect bodies. Using the body, installations, and hybrid media, she works at the intersection of personal experience and sociopolitical dimensions, exploring themes related to migration, displacement, technologies of control, the epistemic boundaries between human and non-human, and gender and sexual dissidence, reinterpreting ancestral knowledge from Peru and Latin America in light of current conflicts. Her works have been exhibited in Peru, several Latin American countries, and Europe.
