Berenice Olmedo born in 1987 in Oaxaca, Mexico. Through her publications, sculptures, installations, and performances, the artist questions what it means to be physically "normal" or wholesome and highlights the political aspects of disability, illness, and caregiving. Her work delves into societal norms regarding our bodies and examines how external supports are integral to human life. Through the use of medical forms and materials, the artist critiques the drive for flawless efficiency and uniform perfection, advocating instead for a contemporary experience that embraces physical, political, and existential dimensions.
