During her 6 month residency at GlogauAIR, Becerra developed a project called "Metameria", where she explored the idea of a flexible contorted body shape, investigating the resistance of soft organic and found metal objects. These compositions or assemblies of the mutable, narrations of the past, are impregnated with actions of the present and are intended to expose the fragmented shape of a memory.
OPEN STUDIOS SEPTEMBER - PRESENTED IN THE CONTEXT OF BERLIN ART WEEK 2023 -
GLASS, STEEL.
“Dripping stillness, conceived in the depths of a basement; charged with the archetypical force of the underworld—part laboratory for synthetic matter experimentation, part home to arthropods that preceded this work.
A dark, humid, and silent ecosystem of oscillating organisms being bred— some pre-living, intra-uterus still, yet beating; waiting to be awakened from the eternal dream to consciousness.
For them, trans-living possibilities await, where their acephalous bodies will meet the cold steel clasp of surgical interventions—suspended limbs as a result of partial procedures; interrupted amputations conceived for the delight of prosthetic engineering.
In the center, an autonomous entity of cyclical nature; shadow-working like the moon. Perpetually self-phagocytizing fluids — an ouroboros with no head or tail, only ghostly matter shifting states: the womb, the portal giving birth, to a cluster of leaky children in cautious stillness—a dripping ecosystem- meta-material.”
