Creatures from the dimension of the unconscious

Día Muñoz’s work connects with the concept of speculative realism, imagining a posthumanist future where existence transcends preconceived genetic molds. In this context, ionized water, as an electrical conductor and essential component of our bodily system, plays a crucial role in allowing cells to regulate the entry and exit of ions and electrons. This same principle is reflected in Día’s sculptures, which facilitate the flow of electricity and evoke the fundamental processes of biological systems.

Day allows us to observe the interaction between thought and existence, rooted in both scientific and philosophical research. It manifests itself in sculptural mobiles carved from wood and blown glass and molded from objects rescued from a junkyard, evoking fragments of memories that transit between the subconscious and the conscious.

These “creatures” transform into ever-evolving thoughts, actions, and behaviors. Like liquids awaiting their ultimate form, they explore and expand our understanding of the construction of our thoughts and emotions. Their yet-to-be-figured potential suggests biogenetically engineered structures that unfold across time and space, intertwining with speculative thought processes.
