Julia Rometti (France, 1975) and Victor Costales (Belarus, 1974) live in Mexico City, where they settled a few years ago after wandering through many different geographies.
This erratic period has defined the beginning of their artistic practices, during which they have been using flexible techniques like images (photography, film, collages), ready made or found object, to approach non-western ontologies through fiction or speculation. They have been developing a body of works around the questions of human / non human, nature and culture.
They drawn from the theories of Brazilian anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Being settled in Mexico, their practices opened to other techniques, working with the knowledge of craftsmanship like metal casters, palm weavers, or stone carvers. They extended their interests to the questions of materiality, conditions and agencies. Rometti Costales allow themselves to be carried away by the dialogue they establish with the materials and conditions they collaborate with, unfolding a cosmology that discovers in nature a space of political inscription.
