Utopía del blanqueamiento
This installation merges video and sculpture to explore South America’s colonial legacy and its impact on the construction of both individual and collective identities. Utopía del blanqueamiento, a video of static family portraits, reflects the persistent belief that skin color confers power and superiority. Projected onto a rotating cube of broken mirrors, the images fragment and scatter across the space, inviting viewers to confront and deconstruct these enduring stereotypes. The dynamic reflections encourage a reassembly of meaning, symbolizing the reconstruction of identity in the face of inherited narratives.
