The different pieces display an assemblage of body images, poses and body postures. The work pays tribute to the massive repetition of physical gestures at a worldwide scale and to the surfeit and disposability of these images.\n\nTaken from a variety of sources\u2014art history, anatomy, science, porn, fashion, queer culture and social media\u2014the imagery is detached from its original context. A subjective -call it narcissistic- view places it in a larger diagram. The body reveals the images as a technology that exists previous to human embodiment. A system where culture, biology and aesthetics converge.\n\nEvery video-performance was produced independently. The visual elements are diverse as it is the camera approach. In some of the pieces, the emphasis is on the frame, the technical constitution of the scene and the role of the eye. In others, the aim is to foreground the qualities of the performative act. The physical effort deployed and usage of time. Sometimes, the body is fully visible, in others, the camera penetrates to a level where the shape becomes abstract. These combined perspectives are an invitation to observe the many universes coexisting in the equation body+image.","space":"The least space dimensions are 8x4 meters. Either black or darkened for the projection(s). Ideally, the installation will split into two rooms. The first room will display two of the pieces in three big screens, plus another piece in a large projection. The second room will present a single-channel projection with the fourth piece. A central station in the first room shows the documentation of the process in mobile devices. Viewers should be able to circulate freely throughout the rooms.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/373521425","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Francisco","surname":"Gonzalez-Rosas","email":"franciscogonzalezrosas@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"P14548078","address":"7320 Avenue Christophe-Colomb, Apt. 408","city":"Montreal","nacionality":"Chilean","country_id":"41","birthdate":"1984-09-29T04:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1984-09-29T04:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+15145861857","web":"franciscogonzalezrosas.com","fileCount":10}
