"Visceral Greed"

In the artwork "Visceral Greed", I was inspired by the concepts of body, market economy, colonization and otherness as factors of categorization and discrimination. The representation strategy at work begins with the exploration of the body of two Siamese twins, which can be found in catalogs of monsters and beasts of the medieval European imaginary, who then in the form of myth emigrated to the American continent.

The work deals in particular with the extermination of the Selknam people, original residents of Patagonia in South America, by English and Spanish mercenaries, whose intact bodies were exchanged for money.
