Mixing genres of video, performance, and drawing, Francisco González Castro’s work examines problems related to territorial borders, social inequalities, and bodily transgressions. The project title refers to German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s (1844-1900) existentialist quote that begins, “The body is a great intelligence,” (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 1883), and infers that the human body and soul are one. This title is illuminated in Castro’s own artistic philosophy, which confronts the body, people who reject the body, and how the body is approached as subject and identity. Castro’s personal bodily transgressions and tests of endurance are vehicles for his discourse about geographic landscapes and political borders. It is within this integration of life-and-art, body-and-spirit, that we intend to immerse the audience in this physically ambitious and psychologically profound exhibition by Castro at Coconino Center for the Arts.
