David Cata: Skin As Canvas

Cimientos-02

Artist David Catá incorporates various mediums in his work. For his photography, he employs his own skin to project our memory and our interactions with the people in our lives. Many of his images show physical stitches that resemble the persons that have had an influence on his life. As he explains himself: “Everyone we meet makes us in someway. Their image projects on us, reminding us where by we come from. Their lives turn into a part of ours. Every stitch represents them over my skin, physical pain is not a boundary, it unites us more by thinking of the marks on my hand as an affective act, that my thinking, at one time, my hand has touched their hand”.

Have a look at his work below and view the videos which track his methods.
