Catalina Insignares stops being discrete. In El Solito, she’s asking herself: Am I even able to see myself and let myself be seen by others? How to be visible? How to allow for a space where we can just be in mutual presence? “I” metamorphose into something else — a fictional character, a kind of alter ego, a persona, a dramatic mask that resonates with stories and invisible sounds carried by the walls, floor, ceiling, and the things brought in by others. The persona sings and sounds, it uses its hands, throat and guts as amplifiers of the frequencies that circulate in matter. It lets the different invisible entities through so that they bounce and traverse to become hearable and visible.
