Sergio Zevallos

Sergio Zevallos is a multidisciplinary artist who researches on issues of transcultural identity, gender and the relationship between the individual and power. A basic concept for his work is the hybrid, both in the organic and sexual sense, as well as in the theoretical and conceptual. (S)he configures his performative works, installations, photographs, drawings and sound compositions by collecting images and texts of public circulation, press, popular magazines, television programs, educational manuals and religious images, which she then recontextualizes and reinterprets. Zevallos was co-founder of Grupo Chaclacayo, a collective of the 1980s that dealt with the intersection of religion, gender and armed conflicts. she lives and works between South America and Europe and has participated in the 31st São Paulo Biennial in 2014 and documenta14 in 2017. (S)he is the International Research Fellow in collaboration with the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz-Max-Planck-Institute.
