ILLUSION OF MATTER
Illusion of matter . 2015
A performance by Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa
at the BMW TATE LIVE: PERFORMANCE ROOM
Live streamed from Tate Modern, Thursday 3 December 2015
Using theatre, drawing, literature and sculpture, Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa’s work conjures live and sculptural representations that explore themes of loss, identity and displacement. For this new commission 'Illusion of Matter', he further explored the Guatemalan civil war (1960–96), a recurring subject in his work, which although often softened by an absurd and humorous approach, fails to conceal the force of history that precedes it.
