Ana Gutieszca (Coahuila, Mexico)
Visual and sound artist born in the dry lands of the Coahuila desert. Drawing is the core of her work. By addressing the question of the animal and its ambivalent presence through symbolic thinking, she sculpts the unfathomable boundaries of drawing throughout the creation of analogue and digital instruments, the sonification of graphite and its deconstruction into performance art. She is a founder member of Third Space and curator of Sound Room project.
