Empatia

Empathy is a performative project that explores how a shared relationship can generate a physical trace. Through movement and painting, Carlota Pérez de Castro creates a space of interaction in which emotion is translated into pictorial matter. Movement activates the relationship between bodies; painting absorbs that intensity and fixes it as a trace. The gesture, ephemeral by nature, finds a form of permanence on the canvas. The resulting work does not document the event, but extends its presence beyond the moment.
