Masacres urbanas (“Urban Massacres”) is an installation that works, metaphorically, on the discarded bodies
of plants in a symbolic cross between forensic-register vocabulary and other imaginaria of death. Based on
a series of plants found in her wanderings throughout the city, the artist takes in the role of a gatherer and
salvager of said bodies in order to give them, finally, a possibility for recovery or a space of recognition. Thus,
it invites us to think beyond the hegemonic human body itself and to examine the elements as arrayed
throughout the space so as to experience new emotional possibilities and bonds of empathy with the other
life forms that share our world.
