Claudia Rodriguez (México, 1966)

With her work she seeks to translate into forms or actions, concepts that have meaning to her. She is interested in their power to question, especially if they have a political or social impact.

Her production explores themes that have to do with identity, consumer society, migration, memory, the contemporary city and nature. She gives visibility to things that go unnoticed, from everyday gestures to relevant social situations; using video, text, word games and the resignification of materials, exploring different ways of perceiving and understanding reality.
