BURIED COUPLE

Intervention/Performance, 2018
A married couple was buried for 40 minutes on the outskirts of their hometown, Francisco Montes de Oca, Durango, Mexico. Positioned so their eyes were at the same level, they were invited to engage in conversation. The goal was to create a dialogue at "eye level" in a society where traditional gender roles, especially in northern Mexico, still shape behavior.
Inspired by Mexican shamanic healing practices, I began burying participants to explore the psychological and physical effects of the experience. Factors such as soil temperature, increased pressure, and blood circulation became crucial elements in shaping the duration and intensity of the experiment.
