Escupir en el espejo

Escupir en el espejo is a game of reflections and identifications between the materials and the body. The work invites to spit directly on an inclined mirror where the image of the viewer is reflected. Saliva, whose soft and viscous material slides down the surface of the reflective glass, becomes one with the body. The aggressive gesture of spitting out one’s own image is thus confused with the sensuality of the path of saliva through the image of the body.
