Playing with death

Thursday, October 22, 2009

 


Teresa margolles is a mexican women, and she is an artist, she makes diferents performans, but all around the same topic: death. She uses many materials like: water, concrete, blood and other thing that use in the morgue.

Her work is the examining the transition from life to death, body to corpse, Margolles maintains how not even death can function as a leveller of social inequality.
In a way, it is the voice of all those dead people who never heard or helped. It ´s something like justice for them.

"Vaporizaciones" the name of most famous performances, in this work, she use the water with wich washed the dead bodies in the morgues.

My favorite work of her, is in the picture (up), she used human fat and other fluids obtained in the liposculpture.
