KUTHO takes inspiration from a Burmese concept of merit. A common ritual undertaken by male Buddhist devotees is to cover their relics with gold leaf for merit-making towards a better karma. Women, in the guise of an impure status, are forbidden to approach. In a similar way, monks/nuns are other topics to see the place of women in religion nowadays. To go beyond persistent stereotypes, I think that liberation of the soul is an endless work in progress.The series talks about power in religion and the relationship between the visible/not visible, cult/occult, and parallels universes.
Argentinian conceptual- artist. She uses photography as a way of thinking, looking for the poetic and political potential that arises from the observation and explores photography’s ability to manipulate perceptions of reality. Another line of inquiry of her practice is the voyage, as a source of inspiration. She is interested in the discrepancy between what we see and what we know, where these qualities contradict and coexist simultaneously.
