Gabriela Maciel lived one year in Beijing, China (2009 - 2010)

The artist uses diverse medias to express a sense of displacement, clashes of culture and hybrid-isms. Human conditions and beliefs are sources for her recent creations. Converging high-tech and low-tech, as well as collaborating with artists from several fields worldwide.

Sensory experiences mix into dream and reality.

The body analyzed as matter and energetic fluidity. Being them, components of a physical and spiritual structure, creating spatial movements of life in time. Reflecting the changes of mankind from instinctive animal to pragmatic humanity.

The organic transmuted from cells into chemical fragments. Constructing plastic models of living forms. To be surrounded by the reality in which we project actions of spiritually disconnected people. The wires, the frames the cameras and beeps are our skin, blood and eyes. We became "plastic animals" in an ongoing deteriorating natural world. Our bodies follow the everlasting dream of fake youth and illusionary prosperity.

Our bodies shelter the animals´ within us, as chimeras relating to our ancient collective unconsciousness. As if this imaginary figures of hybrid animals have been stored in our timeless  DNA´s to presently mark, from ancient time, the pace of "evolution".

 When creatures become the creators of mechanical repetition and synthetic behaviour.  Facing the screens of lights and using pixels as a representation of nowadays reality.
