This series of photographic works developed from a year-long practice of reperformance. During 2018, the artist reworked key actions from artworks that engaged in troubled relationships with Latin American identities. This process supported the articulation and inhabitation of a Latin American diasporic lineage, focusing on choreography as an inherited cultural practice—though in this case not defined by national borders, but by expressions of duality; bodies occupying two spaces or looking towards multiplicity within identity construction.
In the Body Built with Glass series, reperformances of Ana Mendieta’s work developed into overt expressions of gender play; a body pressed and contorted into alternative configurations in order to recreate gender posturing.
