Leticia Eboli
Statement
My artistic practice arises from the discomfort caused by the automatic gestures of daily life that silence our desires. Imagine receiving a package: we open the box, take out its contents, and discard the box without a second thought. Such functional gestures destroy potential conversations.
​
I strive to exercise the "in-betweens" of micro-moments, amplifying ideas through conversations with other people. A reused box can rescue affective memories through interactions with people in public squares serve as a surface for adults in the learning process, or be the starting point for children to play with shapes.
​
Books and other ordinary objects, such as used cans and papers, become ludic elements that deserve to be democratically shared. I am a proponent of simple language through the appropriation of public spaces and co-creative practices. I find nourishment in literature and consider writing and collage important means of expression to sustain conversations.
