Cartografías del cuerpo
Throughout the recent history of art, the body and how it is perceived by artists has undergone a radical transformation. Moreover, during the last hundred years, many artists have questioned its representation and public exhibition. Likewise, with the seminal developments in the various fields of science in the twentieth century, the idea of a self endowed with a finite, stable form was gradually eroded. From these premises, artists have explored human temporality, contingency and instability, and have engaged with the territories of fear, death and sexuality to analyse a present in which the body has been subjected to profound uncertainties.
