In LA TERRE’: My Likeness in Relics, performance artist Luis Javier Murillo Zúñiga dares to showcase an abstract glimpse into the making of an iconic character—its back story, its lore, shredded in tragedy and joy, shaped by a fervent desire of a queer dream belonging to the stage. Beginning in the small countryside town of San Isidro de El General de Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica, where religion and societal moral consciousness prevail, this journey crosses to the theatrical environment of high-capitalism, with its performed riches and servitude, in the Hamptons, New York, and then takes on to Austria—land of hostility. Through LA TERRE’, Luis delves into this transcontinental melodrama with the divine lens of „La Performancia“.
Working both as a comment on „western european aesthetics and the institutionalized idea of what fine art is“ and creating a space beyond, the video installation will serve as space for a performance on the opening evening and on Saturday for a collective pre-view of the latest episode of „Just Georgous – Beauty for Dead People“, a web series created by Berivan Sayici starring drag queens Baba Gnoushé and La Terre’, who will be present to join the audience.
