ABOUT THE WORK

Xandra Ibarra with Sophia Wang
A movement based performance work that abstracts the conditions of embodiment by attempting to disfigure gender and race through the manipulation of materials. Skins/Less Here experiments with the sensorial, biomorphic shapes and qualities of weight to refuse explicit interpretation and critically question the representational power of racial aesthetics.
