You can't escape the horror
he chases us
it's our shadow.
(Regina José Galindo)

For the first time in Palermo, La Sombra is presented, a videoperformance by Regina José Galindo commissioned and used in 2017 by Documenta 14 (Kassel). The work is hosted by Spazio Rivoluzione, an independent exhibition venue founded and managed by Adalberto Abbate.
The art of Regina José Galindo, centered on corporeity, is composed of psychomagic acts that present shared tragedies, overflowing calamities of horror whose weight falls on the social and which the artist takes on by re-elaborating the emotional burden.
A race in a round, desperate, incessant, without beginning or end, stands before the yoke of oppression and abuse of power; an anguishing macabre dance made coercions, abuses and violent prevarications, which immediately take on a universal character.
Pursued by a leopard, a German WWII tank, Regina José Galindo reacts against the uselessness of the male, using gestures and physical presence as a symbol of struggle and resistance.

A Guatemalan artist, Regina José Galindo (1974) serves the body and poetic writing to recode collective dramas such as violence against women, discrimination against minorities, denial of civil rights and political oppression.

In 2005 she won the Golden Lion at the 51st Venice Biennale, in the "young artists" category. He also participated in the 49th, 53rd and 54th Venice Biennale; at Documenta 14 (Athens and Kassel); at the 9th International Biennial of Cuenca (Spain); at the 29th Biennial of Graphic Arts in Ljubljana (Slovenia); at the Shanghai Biennials (2006) and Pontevedra (Spain, 2010); at the 17th Sydney Biennale; at the 2nd Moscow Biennial; at the first Auckland Triennale; at the 1st Biennale of Art and Architecture of the Canary Islands; at the 4th Valencia Biennale (Spain); at the 3rd Biennale of Albania; at the 2nd Prague Biennale (Czech Republic) and the 3rd Biennial of Lima (Peru).
His works are present in the collections of the MoMa of NY; of the TATE Gallery in London; of the Pompidou Foundation in Paris; of the Guggenheim in NY; of the Castello di Rivoli in Turin; of the Daros Foundation (Switzerland); del Meiac (Spain); of the Miami Art Museum (USA); of the USB (Switzerland); of the Cisneros Fountanal of Miami; of the Teseco Foundation of Pisa; of the Trento Civic Gallery Foundation; of the Budapest MMKA; of the Regional Ministry of Murcia (Spain) and Foundation of the Art of Mallorca (Spain).
