Loreto Martínez Troncoso's Art Style

Loreto Martínez Troncoso harnesses words as vehicles of transmission, transforming them to imbue fresh meanings and construct novel scenarios. Her creations are akin to palimpsests, where intertextuality serves as a tool for conveying messages, and her interventions manifest either through her physical presence or via devices designed to channel the text, monologue, discourse, or conference.

Troncoso's art is fundamentally ephemeral. Her initial performances emerged from distinct moments, adhering to the protocols tailored to each unique context: whether events, exhibition inaugurations, or press briefings.

The notion of the audience as the ultimate and indispensable recipient is elaborated upon in Troncoso's recent pieces. Here, the artist forsakes impromptu intervention, instead transmitting the message through tangible devices like headphones, projectors, and loudspeakers, which the spectator activates, thereby retaining their role as a performer, engaging with the artwork and space at a specific moment.
