Video performance
Paucar does impressive performances that allow him to present cultural differences by displaying a complex individual imaginary. This artist lives and works between Germany and the Peruvian Andes. He approaches the transition between these two contexts in a particular way by creating situations in which his body —taken to extreme temporal and physical resistance conditions— plays an essential role. As part of the MDE15, Paucar was invited to develop a new project able to respond to the context of Medellín. In a new performance for the camera, the artist suggests —from a role-play using his own body limbs— a reading on the intersections between the strong presence of militarism in Colombia and the construction of a single gender and racial identity.
