Elena Tejada-Herrera is a transdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of hybrid media such as performance, installation, video, and social practice, with a feminist approach.
Man with Souvenir is a video shot using analog equipment in which the artist, through a psychedelic lens, deconstructs and parodies the motif of the male nude in art history.
The series of six drawings features anthropomorphized animals engaged in complex human situations tied to sexuality and the organization of social life. The compositions, stripped of excessive detail, invite viewers to complete the narratives through their own cultural specificity and contextual concerns.
