SKIN | PELE | METES-ME NOJO
by FÁTIMA SPíNOLA.
SKIN | PELE | Metes-me Nojo explores the physical, emotional, and political boundary
as a site where the body is inscribed, protected, exposed, and transformed. More than
a limit between inside and outside, the skin becomes a territory of constant negotiation,
where identity, memory, desire, violence, and vulnerability coexist.
Departing from the relationship between body and image, the exhibition questions the
very possibility of representing the subject. Portraiture and self-portraiture cease to
affirm identity and instead become spaces of instability, where the figure oscillates
between recognition and disappearance. The image resists transparency, refusing to
offer a fixed or definitive reading. What remains concealed becomes as significant as
what is revealed.
The exhibition unfolds as a journey in which different works establish relationships with
one another, creating an environment where painting, installation, video, light, and
sound operate as parts of a single organism. Objects associated with everyday life and
the domestic sphere are displaced from their habitual context, acquiring simultaneously
sculptural, theatrical, and symbolic dimensions. Traces, fragments, and actions evoke
the presence of the body without directly representing it, inviting the viewer into a
physical experience of proximity, discomfort, and recognition.
Metes-me Nojo does not function here as a statement, but as a rupture. The expression
introduces a proximity that resists resolution: between the one who looks and that
which is looked at, between attraction and repulsion, between intimacy and exposure.
Rather than naming an emotion, it interrupts the possibility of a comfortable distance.
The exhibition remains within this interval. It does not seek to resolve the images it
produces, but rather to inhabit the moment when they cease to offer certainty.
