The frequencies I am made of #2 Gicleé print on cotton rag 68.8" H x 43.3" W Ed 4/5 +1AP 2017.
This artwork presents an enigmatic figure cloaked in dramatic, textured fabrics that evoke a mysterious and otherworldly aura. The dominant fur textures, a striking mix of gray and brown hues, cascade over the figure's head and shoulders, blending seamlessly with the shadowy background. The play of light and shadow creates depth, accentuating the luxurious, tactile quality of the fur and fabric. The figure’s partially visible hand introduces an element of intrigue, suggesting movement or narrative beyond the static image. The overall composition, with its subdued color palette and rich textures, invites the viewer to explore themes of identity and transformation, embodying a sense of hidden elegance and mystery. Through skillful use of contrast and material, the artist constructs a visually compelling and immersive experience.
THE FREQUENCIES THAT MAKE ME The winning project of the creation grant of the Ministry of Culture of Colombia 2017. In collaboration with the Cali Biennial of Dance. "It is about tracing, in a region of undifferentiated activity, the plurality of waves of variation that produce the creative power of a body, which is thought of only as an intensive threshold of forces" G. DELEUZE. "The frequencies that make me" is a project that aims to find points of contact between dance and performance to generate a space in between, where the body plays with time, explores the sound as a surface of possible becoming, and mixes with matter to germinate bodies in full transition. It is not about building a new body, but rather generating fleeting and less definable bodies to reclaim a world of horizontal relationships between humans and non-humans.

María José Arjona (b.1973 in Santa Fe de Bogotá, Colombia) lives and works in her native Bogota.
The Kiss was a self-taken photograph and was part of her solo exhibition in New York at the Art Space Location One, in 2012. The Kiss maps a system uniting two bodies. It is a gesture magnified by the use of sound emerging from the action of kissing and intensified by the working presence of the performer's body.
“The Kiss" (is a long durational performance), a breathing system where the performer's body becomes the intersection enabling the entire organism to work, reveals the intricate rhythm between lungs, fluids, and muscles while kissing. The body is the kiss: the plane of action created by it. This intersecting plane finds its translation into sound via the repetitive action of inflating and deflating two huge latex balloons."
Maria José Arjona is a performance artist focused on affirming the body through long durational exercises addressing process, time, memory and power. Her performances have been exhibited in museums and galleries in South America, Europe, China, and the United States and have been reviewed by Art Nexus, Arte Al Dia, The New York Times, The Guardian (UK), Whitewall Magazine, The Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald, and many others. She participated as a re-performer at Marina Abramovic's retrospective at The Museum Of Modern Art in New York and started touring with her own work at The Madre Museum in Naples (Italy) as part of the program “Corpus, Arte In Azione". The itineration of this project includes locations in Bologna (Italy), Bergen and Oslo (Norway), New York (US), Vienna (Austria) and will end in 2010 in Colombia as part of the National Salon sponsored by the Ministry of Culture of Colombia.
Arjona will have a solo exhibition in 2018 at the Museum of Modern Art in Bogota.
