MUDAS



Bodies, Leaves and Decay



The MUDAS series, presented in Mexico City in 2013, articulates a poetics of transience through banana leaves arranged as anthropomorphic forms. Their folds, wrinkles, and oxidations suggest vulnerable bodies suspended between life and disappearance. Each piece becomes both a vegetal relic and a human echo, oscillating between sculpture and ephemeral installation. The work proposes a radical ecology of perception, where organic material and social body mirror each other, blurring the limits of art, ritual and decay. Installed in LaPieza and the Hotel Virreyes showroom, the series engages the public in a relational encounter: the leaves, placed on white walls, face the visitors, forcing a silent dialogue on mortality, transformation and the unstable nature of matter. By naming them social sculptures, the artist emphasises the community dimension of the act—each spectator becomes co-participant, completing the fragile presence of these vegetal bodies with their own gaze. MUDAS is thus not only about leaves but about the impermanence of form itself: a reminder that every body, human or vegetal, carries within it the inevitability of change.

RUS MIAMI 2008 TRASH MACHINES



Action and Collaboration. On how to document and amplify the performative dimension of projects such as RUS Miami. Their role was not limited to passive recording; instead, they produced dynamic audiovisual actions that translated ephemeral events, street interventions, and collective experiments into a cinematic language. By following Basurama’s dérives through scrapyards, neighborhoods, and improvised installations, Tomoto Films shaped a critical narrative that extended the reach of the projects beyond their immediate contexts. The films are both documentation and artwork: editing, framing, and montage created a rhythm that mirrored the energy of Basurama’s practice, emphasizing chaos, humor, and the aesthetics of waste. In this sense, Tomoto Films functioned as a collaborator in meaning-making, transforming actions into cultural memory and proposing video as an active participant in social practice rather than as a secondary archive. This collaboration exemplifies how independent cinema and contemporary art can merge in site-specific, process-based initiatives. The synergy between Basurama’s critical urbanism and Tomoto’s agile filmmaking created a hybrid field where the city itself became both stage and protagonist.
