Description: Articulated by the aesthetic study of Francisco Godoy Vega, this research covers the last 30 years of work of the artist Ingrid Wildi Merino (Chile, 1963; immigrated to Switzerland 1981). Through a historical and critical narrative of her work, this book allows access to the artist's work both from an intellectual perspective and from a review of the biographical axes that have crystallized in it; this is how the political and existential urgency of the sensitive and the extreme exposure of corporeality in the border experience acquire value. Godoy Vega grants an epistemic framework forged from the intellectual spaces of the global south, aimed especially at questioning the Eurocentric colonial world, its inclination for absolute truths and the absence of a pluriversal interpretation of the world. "Ingrid Wildi Merino's work is pulsated by the migratory and subordinate axes of decoloniality and border thought, as a reflective body engine in a global geopolitical context marked by the domination of the modern-colonial civilizational model. From this critical standpoint, the body constitutes a privileged space to investigate the colonial wound, understood as epistemic violence and racist practices, generated by the ominous cross between territoriality and incarnation of a biopolitical logic and colonial practices all over the world." -Page 11.
