Vaporization

In Vaporization (Vaporización, 2002), Teresa Margolles fills the gallery with a foggy mist created from the disinfected water used to wash corpses of drug cartel murder victims in the Mexico City morgue.

Her performance visualizes the physical memory of a last washing, while also suggesting angelic disappearance or bodies fading away.
