Derby Bakora

The title of the exhibition, Derby Bakora, conveys the merging of two concepts: the first one, in relation to Derby, reverberates to the motor industry and competitions; the second, in relation to Bakora, has its origin in the bacor, albacor or albacora (from the arab al-baküra) fig tree which is part of the arab legacy in the eastern region of the Iberian Peninsula on the mediterranean Coast. The fig tree is a fruit tree that was cultivated, according to the archaeobotanics, for over 11,400 years. Figs and spare parts of motorcycles, tubes, resins and grease. Solid material comprehended as an organism. Vibrant matter, dry fluid. Ghost Rider.

Apparently remote things are related in a natural manner through the body, mind and energy of who proposes. A way of thinking and feeling traversed by the desire to be red skin and transfeminist bakora.

A disciplined body is a thermodynamic organism composed of organs that are auto-structured and organised in a hierarchic manner, crossed by energy currents which tend towards entropy and death.

In Derby Bakora the artist proposes a sculptural exercise to decentralize the optimization of resources benefitting the experimentation, considering that the post-disciplinary power operates in a space of continuous flux, turbulent, that is arranged by means of modulation. Bakora modular turbulenta.
