The commitment of the body. Impressions around pain with Omar Jerez
Abstract
The corporal aspect in the performance, has been one of the fundamental pillars in its own conception. In this sense, the relationship with pain is evident in various actions, either by the media or by its conceptual core. In the case of Omar Jerez, both come together, in a work of coherence and commitment, over and above the artistic approach; for the artist, action is a means of personal and social discovery, a form of protest and, ultimately, a way of being. In this interview, we approach his work from an approach linked to pain and its presentation to the public through performative acts.
