PERES Project

I clambered over mounds and mounds

Of polystyrene foam

And fell into a swimming pool

Filled with fairy snow

And watched the world turn day-glo

you know you know

The world turned day-glo you know

I wrenched the nylon curtains back

As far as they would go

And peered through perspex window panes

At the acrylic road

I drove my polypropolene

Car on wheels of sponge

Then pulled into a wimpy bar

To have a rubber bun

The X-rays were penetrating

Through the laytex breeze

Synthetic fibre see-thru leaves

Fell from the rayon trees

X-Ray Spex – Day The World Turned Day-Glo

For Huanca, the body and skin are an ongoing focus and she employs them as both pure surface and material. Cosmetics function as a medium of transformation and performers are painted from head to toe. They are choreographed to move glacially, in a meditative state, through her installation environments which consist of paintings, sculptures and ephemera. The performers’ presence both activates her studio works and relate to dissimulation, fusion, and camouflage, furnishing the beginnings of a poetic narrative on the fragmentation of identity.
