Dreaming about mushrooms...

Dreaming about mushrooms dreaming about me sleeping between their gills is an artistic project of embodied research that evokes the desire to establish a shared perspective with fungi, from which to create language, memory, body, and meaning together. The project explores the intricate relationships that can be established with another companion species, calling for the construction of an expanded kinship beyond the epistemic framework of human exceptionalism, situated within queer (post)natural and more-than-human ecologies.

As part of this process, embodied speculative technologies take shape, intertwining exercises in fiction, biological experimentation, and artistic practice. Dreaming about mushrooms […] is articulated through multiple tentacles that, like the hyphae of a mycelium, gather and connect different moments of research and creation.

Metabolic Affairs

Metabolic Affair: Re-Rooted Bodies (2024) es una bioficción especulativa en forma de performance que explora la relación metabólica de dos años entre el micelio y la artista. La performance indaga el deseo de compartir cuerpos y territorios en un enredo afectivo, cuestionando cómo podemos crear lazos más allá del intercambio de poder, la alimentación, la domesticación y la desterritorialización. Un dispositivo SF* recoge los impulsos de ambos cuerpos y los restituye en lo que se ficciona como un texto que describe una conversación generada en otro espacio de cognición. SF* se refiere explícitamente a la definición polisémica formulada por Donna Haraway: Science Fiction, Speculative Fabulation, String Figures, So Far (Haraway, 2013).
