Hortensia Mi Kafchin has an unmistakable canon of motifs that reflects the collage-like visual world of our media age like a kaleidoscope. It is a fascinating iconography that blends science fiction with ancient myths. Man and machine often meet, sometimes as opponents, but mostly as hybrids. However, her figures are not heroic symbols of technical perfection and superiority, but sensitive and melancholy mechanical beings whose status hovers between subject and object.
Indeed, Hortensia Mi Kafchin often depicts the human body as a construction site in flux. These bodies may be surrounded by scaffolding, lying in chemical laboratories or exposed to drugs.
