Hincapié’s 30 years of production are the testimony of an artist whose life was her poetic proposal. Her radicalism consisted in showing through her body—her plastic material—that it was possible to live in another way. “We must make the world more human, supportive, communal,” she said. Words that, beyond being a utopian sentence and that we now read also as an ecopolitical declaration, expressed a deep tension with the continuous acts of violence that were taking place in Colombia at that time. Hincapié was inhabited by the deep need to stop in order to experience and imagine another world. From her first appearances as a theater actress in Ondina in 1985 and Parquedades, which she performed with the artist José Alejandro Restrepo in 1987 and where improvisation through her own body through music and experimentation with other media prevailed, to performances such as Esta tierra es mi cuerpo (1992) and El espacio se mueve despacio (2004), Hincapié always sought to activate another time, a new time.
