Frunce is defined as a set of small, parallel pleats.
In this project, Becerra situates objects of clay, bio plastics, resin and metal objects. The work is an attempt to throw a few ‘sticks’ in the patriarchal, colonial and capitalist wheel, questioning the significance of that to which we are attached – including our own skin.My pieces try to rub the complex limits of inhabiting a striated social fabric. In this simulation of cut, I explore everything that does not end up being defined or fit into imposed structures. Muscular shapes and thin threads are put into tension. Pieces of my body and scraps of skin, narratives of vulnerability, perhaps could be conceived as scales that I expose in order to address new questions: what is this soft, flexible and adaptable mass made of? Is it possible to cultivate pleats in a world that worships silence?”
