Pedro Resendez (b. 2001) is an artist based in Mexico City and London. His practice focuses on building horizontal relationships of trust through collaborative action, speculative narratives and digital anthropology, developing an immersive vision of collective identity, where distance is explored as a pivotal catalyst.
I explore the concept of distance in its various dimensions - physical, temporal, cultural, and digital -as a triggering factor within the construction of collective identity. My artistic process relies on building horizontal relationships of trust, which are cultivated through images and materials sourced through collective action. My work spans across mediums to reside in a space dedicated to the multiple translations of identity, where fiction and speculative narratives unfold the opportunity to create images that operate across multiple timeframes.
By engaging with, dismantling, or confronting the apparatus, the relationships and narratives that are produced through my practice have the potential to become ubiquitous and pervasive, infiltrating diverse realities that have never heard, seen, or understood them; serving as emblems of nascent, radical possibilities. Questioning nationality, culture and identity placement in a geopolitical universe,, through the process of contributing to a more empathic approach towards the otherness.
