The proposal for "skins" wants to emphasize this great cutaneous organ as the place, the means and the end where we collect all kinds of information that surrounds us, providing us with the necessary dose of tactile contact for each one of us. This dose is personal and non-transferable. The need for contact between people is determined by indefinite factors developed throughout our lives.
The skin as an organ that defines us, characterizes us, identifies us, at the same time that it separates us from the rest, isolates us, delimits us, but through which we communicate with the environment. The area of the skin contains an infinite number of nerve endings that give us information from the outside of our body, such as temperature, pressure, pain, tactile sensitivity (such as identifying different textures, shapes, materials...)... in short, sensations that we organize in our memory.
The video sculpture is formed by the projection of the video, “skins”, in the sculpture “La Macropiel”, in which all types of skin contact between two people are collected and projected onto a sculpture.
