STORYTELLING / DIGITAL NARRATIVE (2021-22)

A tribute to Mother Earth is inspired in our personal relationship with the planet Earth not as an object or a source but as an alive divine entity that holds our very inner sacred nature. A Mother where we belong.

Trans people are central in the artwork, presenting their imaginary and artistic expression. This group is often marginalized and victimized in public spaces. Digital visualisation of ones inner garden (safe space) can help reduce cortisol levels during traumatic memories. The relationship to Self is cultivated inside and outside.

VIDEO DANCE PERFORMANCE (2022-2023)

Mother Earth’s diversity is represented in a multimedia dance performance that encompasses a collection of images, sounds, and people’s insights.

Video mapping in public space, invites the transformation of violence and indifference into a tribute to Mother Earth, which is an issue that concerns us all.

Choreography and dance performance in Pachamama presentations by Felipe Gonzalez Berrios.
