Mercedes Azpilicueta’s artistic practice stands in defiance against rigid, linear historical narratives by foregrounding dissident and dissonant voices. Azpilicueta labels herself a ‘dishonest researcher’ and creates performative and sculptural installations formed in conversation with myths and legends found in libraries and archives and taking inspiration from Neo-Baroque art history, speculative and fictional Latin literature and contemporary popular culture.
