Post-Corpus

Multidisciplinary artistic research project composed of works developed through digital time-based media—photography, video, and sound— together with analogue media such as slides, drawing, and print.

Post-Corpus is an artistic research project examining representations of violence against civilian populations, drawing parallels between post-revolutionary Mexico and the violence experienced from 2006 to the present. It focuses on individuals who are deprived of their fundamental rights and left defenceless within a continuing state of exception and a necropolitical system that administers death.

The project revisits key works by Mexican muralist José Clemente Orozco—including Hangman and Mass Grave, Lynching, Corpse, Sketch for Ballet II, and Human Sacrifice—whose depictions of violence remain strikingly relevant today. Through a hybrid, multidisciplinary practice-as-research approach, Post-Corpus explores how violence has been represented across different historical periods.

The project includes an edition of eight seven-colour silkscreen prints on 300 gsm Fabriano paper. Produced by Ediciones Axolotl in Guadalajara, Mexico, the edition comprises 25 sets, with each 50 × 35 cm print signed, numbered and dated by the artist.
