What is performance art? Tekening door Úrsula San Cristóbal

I'm an interdisciplinary artist and researcher devoted to experimental music, performance art, video art and calligraphy.  My artistic work proposes a meeting point between experimental music, performance art and video art, which I conceive as tools for exploring contemporary subjectivity, addressing issues such as gender, identity, fragility, eroticism, intimacy and affection.

I work by combining artisan elements, such as weaving and calligraphy, with low-cost digital technologies, such as home camcorders and free software. Through these elements, I propose a dialogue between ideas derived from the humanities and the materiality of artistic practice, trying to reconcile conceptual thinking with the sensoriality of the body.

As an artist and a researcher, I consider the application of humanities knowledge in the artistic creation, as a way to encourage reflection and awareness through aesthetic experience, because I think art is an invitation (or a provocation) to think and ask questions.
