Lena Becerra (b. 1994) is an Italo-Argentinian artist working across multiple mediums. Her surgically arranged ecosystems summon contemplation of alternative forms of the social fabric in the gestational stage, where the sinister and sublime converge as part of a cyclical call for rebirth.
Currently, her practice revolves around poetical approaches to a social hatch and, in particular, an exploration of the sensitive layers of xenofeminism. She creates hybrid organisms where the border between gender, sexuality, technology, and nature are not defined, as well as notions around the sublimation of imposed structures.
Becerra places materials in constant tension, enhancing the visceral seductiveness of her work. When looking deeper into her pieces, this feeling can quickly turn dark, mysterious, and almost threatening. Lena reflects on the complexities of the world she inhabits, addressing a dialogue between personal and collective memory and trauma.
