Text von der Publikation von der chilenischen Performancekünstlerin Macarena Perich Rosas:
ON Bucher, Claudia;
By MACARENA PERICH ROSAS

Everytime Claudia performs, she presents a constant dialog with materials, and an objective understanding and a thought-provoking system of art making.

The artist places the audience amidst the specific and pertinent order of the work’s installation form, to later break that order by activating her body through movement. In that moment contradictions start to reveal themselves in front of us.

This chaos leads us into a form of visceral perception where textures, colors, aromas and a particular form of repulsive beauty are exposed, which mold the rhythms and sensations of the performance.

We are confronted with a shifting transformation of cultural canons and fixed norms.

Mutations are performed.

She demands that the audience shifts their perspective, creating a bipolarity.

The other side of yourself is provoked.

A logic is created, one that treasures its own order and unique laws. But this logic demands of itself that it be deconstructed in order for the present moment to be fair and just.

It’s pure.

Uses light and color; weight and speed.

She plays with differenct elements and ideas, taking them in directions that suggest movement. She plays with the horizon in order to break it again and again, and create new horizons.

She creates collections of jars, containers, milk cartons: a new species that filters, measures, controls.

Her force leave an impression: traces that are a result of a system that trascends classical narratives.

Bucher proposes this trascendence through the disintegration of materiality.

In this way, it makes sense it disappears.
