Abstract

"También somos una cortina de cordeles" ("We Also Are a Curtain of Strings" in english) is a video installation that delves into the body-technology condition. The artwork proposes novel perspectives on understanding the body from a transhumanist standpoint, presenting corporeality as a hybrid, ephemeral, and tensioned framework.

Within the installation, the body intertwines with strings through a looped projection, revealing a bare corporeality undergoing various emotions. The cord curtain is traversable, enabling the body to be assembled and disassembled at the discretion of those who interact with it. Consequently, corporeality becomes precarious, existing in proportion to the relationships generated in the interaction, casting the audience as protagonists in the artwork and highlighting the relational nature of the body.
