Elisa García de la Huerta is a multidisciplinary artist from Chile. She focuses on analog photography, performance and sound. Her work details the ways in which nature interweaves with different aspects of the modern self, our psyche and queer culture.

Her way of work sprouts from intuition and the necessity to process and materialize emotions. The art she makes puts attention to our instinctual right to erotism and death inherent to our human experience. From a visceral but inviting contemplation, the images that Garcia de la Huerta produces are full of color, beauty and mysticism. She searches for uncanny simplicity; the unseen texture; from a subtle abstract sensibility, her work is pictorial, tactile and poetic, which opens our perceptions of nature, body and gender alluding transpersonal and eco-feminist discourse.

She is intrigued by the Shadow of late capitalism, how it is fed by conscious strategies of repression. Her work invokes the primal Archetype of the Goddess – Virgin, Mother, Shaman and Witch – in the belief that through a global return to the feminine, we might soften our rapacious drives and erosion on human connection; creating more of a balance between our technological advancement, our relationship to the environment and the refinement of our consciousness. In this context she portrays intimacy as a vital and unruly form of resilience and resistance. Her work represents a form of sanctuary, allowing a place where our connection with nature – including our bodies – might be resurrected, de-commodified, and re-beautified.
