In 2022 my work in absent body performance, host body performance, non-human body performance and other forms of performance not focused on presence or human bodily activity, was included in the International Performance Art Archive in Cologne by the University of Bonn. My agricultural and performance art project of non-human bodies Cultivar Trilce (Urubamba, Sacred Valley of the Incas, Cusco, 2022-2027) received an Economic Stimulus for Culture 2022 award from the Peruvian Ministry of Culture. In the past, I have received the Gold Medal of Fine Arts, the Seguros Atlas Fine Arts Award, the CCC National Award and the 2V'S Award.
Artistic projects in progress:
Cultivating Trilce (2022 to 2027)
Participatory agricultural art project and performance of non-human bodies, in dialogue with Porfirio Meneses's Quechua version of César Vallejo's poetry book Trilce. Developed from 2022 to 2023 in Cusco (Andén Almendraspata, Centro Willka), and currently underway for its territorial expansion in the Andes. Published here.
Ramtun / Hebitur / Tapuy (2024 to 2042).
This project is shared with Chilean teaching artist Mauricio Vargas, and Chilean agronomist Francisco Díaz. It is a project-based learning work, participatory agricultural art and performance of non-human bodies, in dialogue with the Mapudungun poem "The Book of Questions" by the Mapuche poet Elicura Chihuailaf, based on fragments of the poem of the same name by Pablo Neruda. Its title, in several native languages, means "to ask". It is intended to be developed in Mapuche, Kunza and Quechua educational communities in Chile and Peru, with the possibility of expanding to other ancestral languages and extending to Amerindian America. It is currently being managed with the Toconao Educational Complex in San Pedro de Atacama (Kunza language) and with the Poeta Pablo Neruda School in Isla Negra (Mapudungun language) in Chile.
Signal (2010, lifetime)
Daily performance for life.
