About

The artist, educator, and experimental ethnobotanist Patricia Domínguez (b. 1984, Santiago, Chile) creates otherworldly video works and sculptural environments that draw from an expansive inventory of visual symbols, ranging from plant life and healing rituals to cheap mass market goods, internet downloads, and corporate wellness schemes. Staged in natural and shrine-like settings, often illuminated by the fluorescent glow of LED lights, Domínguez’s time-based pieces reflect the artist’s research on the long mark of colonization in Chile and her own family history, as entangled across ecological, spiritual, and therapeutic realms. Positioned in a hyper-commercialized, over-extracted world, Domínguez’s videos nonetheless propose a poetic vision of contemporary life as deeply connected to the earth. “I turn on my made-in-China LED therapy mask and set it to a green light frequency,” she writes in an illustrated essay that accompanies the video Eyes of Plants (2019). “I was told that I should irradiate myself in green if I want to see what a plant sees.”
