Implosion
2022
In Implosion, thirteen kitchen knives with no edge meet each other centrifugally. By canceling the conventional use of the knives, new codifications of the objects at play hint possibilities of a meeting point or a space for confrontation. The audiences are invited to hold it and negotiate a new use out of it through and within other people, enhancing a dynamic that challenges the social, political, aesthetic and the intimate.
Referring to the evacuation meeting points in case of an earthquake in Mexico, Implosion opens a space for confrontation, dialogue, intimacy and commonality. Ultimately, the piece dances through the strategies explored in my practice, where the term Jiribilla - a twist - comes as the potential of re-codifying objects from the quotidian for new relations to materialize through the different agencies that compose the work.
