Artes Mundi 11: Antonio Paucar
Through his performances, sculptures and video works, Antonio Paucar creates an artistic language that draws upon his origins in Andean culture through rituals and interventions. Dialogue with indigenous ancestral knowledge is often set in critical tension with Western culture to address issues such as contemporary conflict, the assassination of indigenous leaders and climate change. The core of Paucar鈥檚 practice lies in his poetic and poignant performances in which he creates a dense body of readings. Concentrated actions and movements in natural and urban public spaces conjure intense imaginary worlds, loaded with symbolic readings.
