Corporeal historiographies by hijadelacoca*
Material investigations into bodies as unstable archives. Through textile translations of medical and diagnostic imagery, this research examines systems of classification, visibility, and failure. Stitching operates as a gesture of interference, producing tactile records that resist clarity and remain unresolved.

TEJER LO QUE NO SE VE ↓
This series transforms medical images—ultrasounds, X-rays, gynecological scans—into textile interpretations of what clinical
gazes classify or pathologize. Through embroidery, organs, cavities, and tissues are retraced on translucent surfaces. Each
stitch slows down technological immediacy, opening cracks where silence, wounds, and the force of the unsaid emerge.

N.TO THE SOUTH ↓
This work transforms autopsy reports of victims killed by state violence in Peru into monumental textile memorials. By stitching forensic data onto fabric, it exposes the brutality masked by official narratives. It honors the victims’ bodies as archives of truth, demanding memory and justice in the face of political repression.
