Descripción
Sumario:Perpetuum Golem (2008-present), by Juan Pablo Ferlat, is a series of self-portraits in virgin beeswax and crude oil made from the scanned model of the artist's own head and built using 3D printing and milling technologies developed ad hoc. This work is interested in said work as a device that configures a relationship between non-human agents (computer instruction, the executing machine, the properties of wax and oil, and environmental conditions) that impose their expressive properties to collaborate in the emission of images. From a materialist and posthuman perspective, it is thought of how the artifactual processuality and the non-human agencies deconfigure the faciality, to create -in a tension between the body of the image and the image of the body- the face as a phenomenon, as an event. Thus, each piece in the series brings into play a posthuman performativity that, far from being limited to the mere image reproduction of the body model, generates overflows of the anthropomorphic figure through a collision with the genre of the self-portrait.
