Estetizaciones experimentales de prototipo de prótesis, como potenciación de lo artístico, para una superación emocional de la autopercepción de incompletitud humana

Abstract

To investigate the idea of human incompleteness and experimental aesthetic prostheses, a search that goes beyond academic, personal. To confront and question the ideology surrounding the meaning of “being incomplete”; a notion that cannot be reduced to the lack of a physical component of the body, since it includes a whole self-perception and the way in which we feel observed by others. My visual proposal exhibits jars containing artistic prostheses of eyes, hands, a torso, a leg and a human face; in the exhibition environment of a specialized store. With the prostheses in white and gold tones, and the orthopedic eyes that represent other people's gazes, I seek to give voice to the experience of feeling “broken” in an emotional and aesthetic sense. I remember that any typical circumstance can be so at any time and for any person. I question how stereotypes define us, limit us and delay any personal process of mental and aesthetic liberation. And I aspire that the viewer, through my work, approaches its possible incompleteness, its multiple vulnerabilities and its permanent need for human fulfillment
