Through an interdisciplinary practice that includes video, installation, audio, performance, among other mediums, I look to expose the power dynamics between institutions and the individual & collective social experience in relation to the body. By putting to question the norms and established protocols of social life, my work explores how we think about institutions from an individual and collective experience and how this relationship can have political and social repercussions. Born in a Mexican conservative catholic city and having to endure over a dozen plastic reconstructive surgeries since the age of 5, my biography is the drive and motivation behind my practice but not always the main focus. Rather, these experiences function as a looking glass towards questions on how institutions hold power over the body, both physically and symbolically.
