Techniques of the Narcissist (2019) is a multichannel video installation in which a series of performances display different body images, poses and body postures assembled together. The exhibition pays tribute to the massive repetition of physical gestures at a worldwide scale and to the surfeit and disposability of these images.
Taken from a variety of backgrounds—art history, anatomy, science, porn, fashion, queer culture and social media—this physical imagery is detached from its original context. A subjective -call it narcissistic- view places them in a larger diagram, revealing them as a technology where culture, science and aesthetics converge. A system that exists previous to human embodiment.
