with Marta Sainz
“I lay on the floor of the gallery with my body near a mound of fertile soil. My mother grabs small handfuls of soil and places them on my body until I am buried. Then she leaves.” - CM
“This most recent work, presented with the participation of the artist’s parents, will continue his ongoing exploration of the impact of intergenerational colonial traumas through an act of extreme corporeal endurance.” - El Museo del Barrio
