New York-based artist Sara Jimenez’s exhibition Why should our bodies end at the skin?* explores the intersections of geology, mythologies, and intergenerational bonds as they relate to the artist’s Filipino ancestry. An inverted volcanic form of bent steel extends from the ceiling towards the studio entrance, the looming structure housing a lava flow of fuchsia fabric that tumbles to the floor. Mirroring the volcano’s shape in miniature, bright pink pedestals support an array of ceramic vessels, while an audio composition made in collaboration with Finnish composer Lau Nau produces a rumbling soundscape of collected sounds, vocals, and synth. The elements of Why should our bodies end at the skin? are an immersive exploration of spaces and objects that contain and reveal the past and present.
