perliiitas

In her artistic practice, Belén Mallol, under the artist name of Perliiitas, engages in fanzines, illustration, and videos. They also are director of Videoclub.

Their zines emerge from a process of searching and collecting trashy treasures and making collage to seek relationships, images and ironies to evidence the cruel remnants of the past and unlock Western meanings, in an attempt to open visual spaces that dismantle things that cut off our enjoyment and freedom. Mallol feels a sense of urgency to change the grammar and logic of language, thus playing with images.

Their research revolves around the relationship between the human body and animality, seeking to transcend the layers of socialization imposed upon us. Their role as a personal assistant to individuals with diverse physical and cognitive abilities, serves as a driving force to question conventional notions of normality.
