Daniela Pascual Esparza

Year of birth: 1993

Biography

Daniela is a performance artist with a background in urban studies: she creates passages between the two to question inherited narratives and imagine other ways of being in the world. Her research interests include plant life, oracular methods, autonomy, and modes of inhabiting. She conceives her performances as ephemeral viewpoints, trying to enable, within a specific context, several ways of perceiving and relating to our bodies and our surroundings. Daniela’s work is site-oriented and often explores intimacy in public environments.
