Matador
"Matador presents a fragmented and tumultuous landscape, where objects, drawings, and sculptures are sporadically placed to evoke a sense of destruction and disarray. At the heart of the installation is the figure of the Matador, a contradictory symbol embodying both performative masculinity and an extravagant, camp allure. This tension between violence and fragility is central to the work, with each element emphasizing the Matador's precarious existence.
Inspired by Goya’s intense bullfighting prints, the piece weaves a narrative drama, amplifying the charged energy of his etchings in a spatially expansive, multisensory experience. Accompanied by an original soundtrack that draws from sci-fi influences, the soundscape conjures an otherworldly atmosphere, immersing the viewer in an emotive exploration of power, spectacle, and vulnerability."
