Art.hro.poda: araña atrapasueños was presented as two performance-installations as part of Larco Vive, a public art initiative sponsored by la Municipalidad de Miraflores in Lima, Peru, and supported by AIBAL (Asociacion Iberoamericana de Artes y Letras). In this most recent public intervention, Art.hro.poda built a spider web while in movement along Larco Avenue. At the final resting point, the public was asked to write a wish on a ribbon and attach it to the web.
Inspired by the adaptive features developed by arthropods over thousands of years, Art.hro.poda relies on a multilayered, modular suit that morphs, detaches and reconfigures as she moves from one environment to the next.
