This project is crossed by fragments of skins that had been cultivated in order to make an image able to transform itself through time.
The dismemberment of the skin is presented as a way of evicting materia. There’s a space-time irruption in which a state disorder is generated. The idea of gestation parts from the fragment. The body is broken, delivered. A body that no longer belongs, that was turned into a disfigured path that now manifests organically.
The skin is dismembered in an emancipated gesture and from it emerges an infinity of other skins that will, together, turn into the core of the eternal movement.
Daniela Mata is a visual artist and tattooer born in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. She was formed as an engraver at the Universidad del Museo Social Argentino. In her late works, Daniela explores different kind of media and focusses on the intend of developing an image that is defined by the idea of movement. She crosses video-art and performance with the field of science. Experimenting with materia and incorporating live organisms into her works, such as blood, natural fibres, saliva, etc. in coexistence with synthetic materials, is how it’s spread the gestation of her own skins.
The body that shapes Daniela’s work invokes the individual. Visceral and intimate images, which grow as a rhizome; images that multiply, intertwine, and overflow. Each piece emerges alive, and because of that, stands emancipated from the artist gesture.
