Cristina Maldonado
Cristina Maldonado is originally from Mexico but has been living in the Czech Republic for the past eleven years. The difference between the Mexican and Czech cultures has given Cristina the opportunity to discover various ways of working, creating, and communicating. Relationships are the red thread that has run through her creative work since 1995, whether it’s the relationship with her own body (dance and choreography), the relationship between objects and systems (theatre of objects), or the relationship of technology and art (performance and extensive film). Currently she is examining the relationships between people (one on one performance, relationship art). In relationships, there is interaction, mediation, and dialogue, and this dialogical connection has become the most important element for her. She is very keen to collaborate with others and explore together the potential of a given situation. Her current body of work is significantly influenced by multilocal and local activities and alternative ethnography in which she combines her own experiences with those of others. What emerges are protocols, immersive performances, and other artistic tools to frame and transmit shared knowledge.
