IN THE MULTIPLICITY OF THE OTHER, THE MEXICAN CHOREOGRAPHER IXCHEL MENDOZA HERNÁNDEZ EXPLORES A BODY IN CONSTANT FLUX, EMBODYING THE ALTERITY WITHIN, REFLECTING UPON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE OTHER AND SELF. INSIDE A SCI-FI SENSUOUS INSTALLATION SPACE MIXING SCULPTURES, LIGHT, SOUND AND AR OBJECTS, THE BODY SHIFTS BETWEEN AMBIGUITY AND CLARITY: A BODY SEARCHING FOR TRANSFORMATION, SEEKING TO ESCAPE AND BLUR DEFINITIONS TO CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO. BY PROVOKING A CONTEMPLATIVE SPACE, THE OBSERVER'S SENSES GET ACTIVATED. WHAT ARE THE IDENTITY POSITIONS THAT EMERGE? WHAT IF THE OTHER AND SELF COULD BLEND INTO ONE(S)? INSIDE A SELF(MIRRORED) OBSERVATION, THE DISTINCTION OF THE OTHER-SELF BECOMES INSPECTED, QUESTIONED, AND MULTIPLIED.
