In Progress - The Nobodies

My practice as a visual artist is focused on creating symbolic bridges between individuals and / or communities; that have different cultures and geographic spaces. My work has transversal axes as: marginality, exclusion and invisibility. These are related to deep issues such as: migration, racism and particularly the historical memory associated with the internal armed conflict in Peru (1980 - 2000), which I have been developing for two years, creating a Memory Space with a specific community.

Formally, my work is in macro or micro scale; and for specific sites. My practice can be individual as well as collective. I believe in co-creation processes, as an individual, I am part of the collective artist group FIBRA and as part of the community, we made a Memory Space with the people of Hualla in Ayacucho, Peru; and with nature, a bio materials project.

THE NOBODIES

The Nobodies Site specific
JVA Prison in Weimar, Germany
2015

The nobodies was an installation in one of the cells of the prison JVA Weimar - a former prison in Weimar in Germany. I made a path with dead insects, most of which were collected in this jail, while some others were bought and others came from my country, Peru. I tried to create a link between migration and fragility.
In their own environment all of these insects will are invisible or camouflage in nature. But in an urban environment these are completely vulnerable: among flies and bees, butterflies and beetles are exposed.
Thus, in public space people are supposedly part of a mass without identity, but what happens with people of different skin color, gender or age, that are evidently not part of it?

Exhibitions:
“Künstler der Pazific-Allianz” Maria-Reiche-Saal Embassy of Peru. Berlin-Germany.
"There is an exhibitions in the prison" JVA Weimar-Germany.
