Rodrigo Ramírez Rodríguez (Mexico City, 1988) works across painting, sculpture, installation, and moving image to investigate the dissolution of bodies, images, and perception through material processes. His practice approaches matter as an active and affective agent capable of hosting, distorting, and transforming images, producing unstable environments where the boundaries between self and world, human and nonhuman, begin to collapse. Through optical devices, fragmented surfaces, and visceral material relations, his works explore perception as a field of forces and time as an anachronic, dysfunctional experience shaped by affect, mediation, and disintegration.
Working through painting as well as immersive installations, Ramírez is interested in how images exceed representation and dissolve into sensation through processes of distortion, embodiment, and material corruption. His works often construct unstable perceptual environments where light, matter, and the body enter into relations of friction and mutual transformation, opening spaces where the self becomes fragmented and unstable.
Ramírez lives and works in Mexico City.
