Visit this week’s student exhibit “XOCHILALI” by Xochitl Maturino
Tuesday, Oct. 14 – Saturday, Oct. 18 in the SHED Gallery
Xochitl Maturino’s work interlaces personal memory with an investigation of the physical and psychological dimensions of lived experience. through performance photography, and video, she explores constructions of identity and body, interrogating the narratives and constraints that have shaped her sense of self.
XOCHILALI emerges from Xochitl’s inquiry into twinship as a formative condition of identity. By engaging with the relational dynamics of both likeness and difference inherent to being a fraternal twin, she seeks to expose the bittersweet tensions between connection and individuality. The use of personal archives and manipulated imagery creates a state of perpetual flux, an oscillation that evokes the dissonant familiarity of duplication and unsettles fixed perception.
Across this body of work and her broader practice, acts of confrontation and excavation resurface latent memories and embodied histories. These gestures generate a space for vulnerability and reflection, tracing the shifting relationship between self -representation and the fractured, refracted images of the sounding world.
