biography
Eloy Cruz del Prado (Madrid,1992) works between the roles of resistance and self-reliance in the development of intimacy, sexuality, care and love. Using performance and installation, social belonging is unraveled through an emotional and political lens. Tradition, as a repetition of daily social rituals, and memory, as a malleable object, are some of the current interests of del Prado. A hundred seconds longer and it's over. Looking for real? For real. New imagined memoir. Cállate, que menudo polvo echaron tus padres para tenerte. There is no love, but I call them lovers. Caretaker. Heart-shaped piggy bank
Through three acts, a changing manipulation of water—from contained reflection to a force defiant of control, and later, a puddle of introspection—speaks to the ever-changing nature of shame. Within a choreography of endurance, friction and the communal, social and intimate gestures are abstracted, becoming actors for the destabilisation of normative structures. I assume the stranger as a subject who can be trusted. SHARE
