You come prepared for all the elements: cold, heat, emptiness and rain. When you enter the room, you look for signs from the artist, maybe the path in the eyes of the other. Another crouched behind a name, an image-carapace that goes “crack” when it breaks.

The division between sky and earth

Javier Tirado Ocón (Zacatecas, 1992) is a Mexican artist based in Spain. A descendant of a line of painters of ex-votos, his work examines spiritual manifestations as phenomena of collective hysteria. His best-known works propose rituals concerned with the family or sport (Un cisma volcánico; Pepenadoras y otras funestas ironías). As well as group performances, they feature oil paintings, exhibited as part of the experience.
