Elena Tejada-Herrera is a key figure at the intersection of feminist, performance, and technological art in Peru. In the 1990s, video was used by Tejada-Herrera as a performative tool and an activistic device that appropriated the languages of mass media to highlight their patriarchal logic and its complicity with the Fujimori dictatorship. The artist’s early work was positioned as an antagonistic force in the local art scene, operating as a killjoy of the rites of the bourgeois and elitist art system through unannounced public actions. Tejada-Herrera has since developed a hybrid, interdisciplinary practice that combined painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, video, and experimental forms of conversation and process-based and collaborative dynamics. Her work explores forms of erotic reinvention of human/nature relationships beyond heterosexual anthropocentric narratives and the effects of environmental contamination and territorial devastation caused by the extractive industries in Latin America. Privileging ‘poor’ and post-internet aesthetics, Tejada-Herrera takes a position against the production of neoliberal citizenship and the institutionalization of impunity.
