joana capella buendia

She is a visual artist, she moves between several languages, from performance, installation, material production and text. She approaches to different activities and materialities intuiting that the process is a meeting place where things happen, between the bodies, the materials and the spaces that participate.

Her practice is a tactic to relate to the physical and symbolic context she inhabits, taking into account the imaginaries that shape it. Her projects respond to concerns and tensions that arise in this situated and concrete participation and coexistence, both in her life experience, professionally and as an artist.

She works to question how the contemporary productivist paradigms of late-capitalist thought affect human and other-than-human bodies, living and non-living, and what mechanisms of sustenance maintain them. How these configure the imaginaries that organize the reproduction of life, construct and distribute the space we inhabit, the urban civilitzatori, the margins and the natural other. It rehearses how we can make possible other relations and coexistence between humans, practices, stories, spaces and species.
