Regina José Galindo's SOS at Prometeogallery
Regina José Galindo, born in Guatemala City in 1974, presents a solo exhibition at Prometeogallery by Ida Pisani in Milan. The show includes works created for Documenta 14, such as El Objectivo and La Sombra, alongside a new performance titled SOS. For SOS, Galindo hides her body behind a wall, striking it rhythmically to create a heartbeat-like code, transforming herself into an invisible instrument to signal a cry for help. The performance was limited to the opening night only, risking being missed by inattentive visitors, which the artist intends as a severe warning. The exhibition features a collection of images, objects, and audio that dominated the gallery during the opening.
