Saakhelu Hack
Is a collective and interdisciplinary work in which Pachón, together with Berlin-based artist Jumu Monster, performer Ana María Contreras based in Bogotá, and digital artist Friedrich Boell in Cologne, translates the ritual practices of masks, the language of the body, and code into a contemporary ritual. In this performance, KUKA, the flagship industrial robot of the German industry and the technologies of contemporary extractivist civilization, pay homage to nature, the power of the mask in its territory, and communities like NASA worldwide that resist the global development model and protect the spiritual connection between humans and their ecosystems.
Saakhelu Hack is a dialogue between man and machine, spirituality and materiality, nature and its minerals, metal and the invisible, subject and object. It is a collective exercise of creation and thought that confronts the distancing and individuality of our times.
