In Erik Tlaseca ́s work, the human body becomes an arena. He uses his body as a tool as a material, making it an agent that symbolizes, intervenes, preserves, and questions our systems.
He use research to explore the future and delve into the implications of being unable to return to an origin. The impossibility of restoring his own lineage has created a void, prompting him to shift towards a trans-historic and trans-identity view of the present. In this world, Tlaseca creates new narratives to expose the conflicts and contradictions around us.
This process has transformed his work into a network of media and agents, extending beyond the fields of art.
