Until the 25th of July, Casa América presents the exhibition Blood Orange, by the artist Liza Ambrossio. It all begins with a mental image: a bleeding orange.
Infected by the aesthetics of Japanese counterculture and the Aztec rituals of human sacrifice as a form of poetics, and where cannibalism is presented as a sign of contempt in the face of exasperation, the artist Liza Ambrossio mixes in her project performance, intervention of space, videos, installations, psychological manipulation practices, science fiction, eroguru and witchcraft. “Blood orange is a contemporary portrait of chaos that appeals to sublimate the emotional death that I decided to give to my whole family, says the artist, in order to cure myself of the hatred, rage and sadness I felt because of the macho orthodoxy in which I was educated. I recount a necessary exile, which has filled me with obsessions related to finding and searching for my demons”.
