'Autotomia' by Amparo Sard

It is the first exhibition of  Amparo Sard (Mallorca, 1973) in Gallery  Pelaires , after a 2015  in which the artist has shown her works in places like  Rome (where she received the Gold Medal of the Italian Government), London, New York, Tenerife  or Gijon, among others.

In zoology, the term autotomy is the ability of  certain animals to discard a part of their body to ward off the danger.  Some of these animals never get to  regenerate the lost parts. Sard  brings this concept to the inner struggle she maintains regarding her work, the passage of time and the spectator (who acts  as a predator).

The  artist divides herself into two parts, she serves as food  to the enemy (for the fact of exposing) but  also manages to escape.
