Domínguez's mesmerizing video, flanked on either side by monitors that display scans of the artist's animated green irises, yokes viewers through a journey of colonialism and indigenous cosmology. The triptych of screens in the Yeh Art Gallery creates a chapel-like setting for viewers of the Eyes of Plants. The video explores the history of healing with roses, intersecting with mestizo rituals: roses were first transported to Latin America by European settlers, and through the influence of the Catholic church acquired a curative power.
Patricia Domíguez: Planetary Tears is organized for the Yeh Art Gallery by Owen Duffy, Director.
Accommodations generously provided by Lacasapark Art Residency.
