Stills, ‘Quimeras’ [Chimeras], digital video 2K, 2023.
‘Affectus’ is a project that hybridizes the aesthetic and conceptual universes inherent in reconstructive medical sciences, biological sciences, ancestral artifacts, and animal domestication instruments; distilling these categories into sculptural pieces that allude to the reconstructive prosthesis of Grecia (the toucan), the first bird to have received a beak prosthesis.

Video performance where four contemporary dancers “activate” the pieces from the ‘Affectus’ series, serving as mediums for the stories carried by the objects. The work was made possible with the support of the Creation Grant from the Fondo Nacional de las Artes (Argentina) 2022.
