Jimena Chávez Delion
The work of Jimena Chávez Delion (Lima, 1989) starts from the experience of urban spaces as circuits between ephemeral elements loaded with both political and affective content. I’m interested in the way materiality, geography and customs intertwined in the everyday, working especially in places organized around informal economies. The journey that her work describes begins with exchange, informality and precariousness, and moves towards how otherness, marginality and the aspirations of everyday life materially filter into subjectivity.
