REPURPOSING FUGUE


"Repurposing Fugue" explores themes of liminality, transitional spaces, smuggling, border crossing, transgression, and queerness. Edgar Fabián Frías aims to transmit smuggled information to the viewer through sound interspersing with abstract imagery, performative gestures, and language channeled through them.
