MORPHOLOGY by Flor Delgadillo, 2020, 3:42 minute cycle, video projection, flat screen, pink vinyl fabric, two laser-cut sculptures and electric wires.
MORPHOLOGY, Delgadillo’s latest installation reflects on her diagnosis of epilepsy at the age of four. The artwork has sourced imagery of Delgadillo’s brain waves using an electroencephalogram machine( EEG). These waveform recordings of Delgadillo’s brain activity during sleep, are projected onto gallery walls. The artist was subjected to routine tests throughout her life. In the artwork MORPHOLOGY, Delgadillo reclaims herself care by monitoring and isolating her own Theta, Gamma, and Delta brain wave activity during sleep. Her routine testing was done in Guadalajara which required constant migration between the U.S. and Mexico.
