Gallery Parc will exhibit "Formaldehyde Trip" by Naomi Rincon Galardo from January 13 to January 28, 2024. This exhibition is part of the art management talent development program "There is Someone Walking Next to You: Knowledge of Minority Rights, Especially Diversity of Sexuality (SOGI), and Expression Ethics Literacy Based on Them" at Kyoto Seika University. It introduces 'Formaldehyde Trip' by Naomi Rincón Gallardo, who is based in Mexico, in two formats: an exhibition at Gallery Parc and a screening performance at Kyoto Arts Center (Japan's first performance/first exhibition).
Gallardo, who describes herself as a 'queer person of color from the Global South, a decolonial feminist, a visual artist, and a shrewd researcher,' has recently conducted intersectional analyses of various power relationships such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class. Based on her research, she has crafted a mythical worldview.
Released in 2017, this work narrates the journey of Betty Carino (1973-2010), who was active in protecting indigenous land and women's rights and fell victim to gunfire in 2010. A preserved axolotl (Mexican salamander) in formalin, saved by explorers from the New World, serves as a guide, leading viewers on a journey to the underworld alongside ghosts and spirits that hover in the neocolonial environment of the past and present.
