Solo Exhibition | March 19 – May 15, 2022 > Cero Uno Gallery, San José, Costa Rica
Fangal is a multidisciplinary solo exhibition that converges performance, sculpture, and painting to explore the materiality of the "quagmire" as both a physical site and a psychological state. Exhibited at Cero Uno gallery, the project creates an immersive environment where organic, distorted forms dialogue with the visceral presence of the performer.
At the center of the work is a series of sculptural and graphic interventions where the human figure acts as a medium to animate the landscape. Black, mud-like structures serve as a representation of an all-encompassing mire, while the body (captured in both the paintings and the live performance) navigates an internal struggle to rise. The exhibition functions as a living archive of actions, where each piece serves as a trace of a transformative process rooted in the tension between one body and another.
