For this edition of VIVA! Martinez presents Site of Loss, a third iteration of her performance-research series Triangulation of Desire an ongoing project that revisits and gives homage to latin american performance artists and practices, situating and investigating their existence and relevance through past, present, and future.
At large, Triangulation of Desire is a research-based artwork that explores the relationship between identity and place locating the body at the center of this interaction. Memory, history, and colonial traditions of erasure are addressed and heled, through deep consideration of how the artist’s body may exist at the core of art history and feminist narratives.
