La Limpia (Extended)

In collaboration with transdisciplinary artist Navid Razavi, La Limpia-Extended is a performance developed by the artist duo as part of Antimonument e.V. a project from Shinpei Takeda that invites artists with migration background in Germany to reflect on colonial and imperialist world views.

For this collaboration Alejandra and Navid invited the public for a cleansing ritual in two levels: The physical body and their “digital self”. While Baltazares performed “Limpias”at the entrance of the gallery, Navid as a Techno-shaman would perform parallel a real-time motion tracking intervention on the public. Divided in 4 stages: Confrontation, Prayer, Hands and Enlightenment the public would be able to watch at the back of the gallery the digital-cleansing rituals performed by Razavi.
