TVíctor Mortales / Overnight: A Body at Rest Produces Images
Thursday, February 19, 7:30 PM PT
In Person at Beyond Baroque and Live on YouTube
As part of his current exhibition Language is a Place, Víctor Mortales will present Overnight: A Body at Rest Produces Images, a live performance that extends his ongoing investigation into rest, dwelling, and image-making. The work emerges from a photographic project carried out over thirty-one consecutive nights in Mexico City, later realized as the photobook Nivi Ve’e. In this performance, Mortales reclaims that durational experience by shifting it from a physical site to the body itself, treating rest as both subject and method.
