Proxy Gallery Presents
DiLos: Only Child
July 18 - October 4, 20255

Closing Reception: October 4, 2025, 3:00-5:00 PM



DiLos is the name used by Mexican artist Delia Perez Salinas Tijerina. Her 2025 installation in the Proxy Gallery consists of 9 “magic boxes” connected to electricity that each contains a holographic GIF video. On each image is seen milk poured down from the top. Some of the images are recognizable- three anchor globes (sun, moon, and star). Other images are a GPT umbrella, a cherry with nine stalks, a golden knot from a cherry stalk, a cobra leopard, a 9 hole pierced cactus, Lamborghini Notre Dame.
