Kathryn Medina is a Mexican visual artist whose work explores the boundaries between the body, matter, and the symbolic. Her practice spans mixed media, sculpture, performance, and experimental film, where the body, flesh, and organic materiality become a visual language. She has participated in collective exhibitions in Mexico, the United States, Spain, and Colombia, steadily building a trajectory that navigates the visceral, the philosophical, and the psychoanalytic. Her cinematic work delves into new dialogues, rethinking the moving image as an extension of the body and exploring hybrid narratives that oscillate between the poetic, the ritualistic, and the raw. Her work is influenced by thinkers such as Julia Kristeva, Georges Bataille, and Rosi Braidotti, as well as by artists and filmmakers who approach the corporeal and the symbolic from various perspectives. Among her key references are David Cronenberg, whose vision of the “New Flesh” has deeply impacted her exploration of bodily materiality; Marina Abramović and Ana Mendieta, with their use of the body as a medium of expression; and filmmakers such as David Lynch, Claire Denis, Dario Argento, E. Elias Merhige, Lars Von Trier, and Kurt Kren, whose treatment of corporality, physicality, stains, rawness, and sensory atmospheres resonate in her cinematic approach. Medina conceives her artistic production as an inquiry into the human condition in its most primal and transgressive state, articulating desires, memories, and drives that traverse the symbolic and the real, the intimate and the universal.
