The exhibition Masquerade for the End of Times puts forward an underworld fauna that comes to life in order to sing a long sacrificial chant. Naomi Rincón Gallardo and her acolytes embody a bat, a scorpion, a snake, a colony of vultures, and a choir of paranormal amphibians: a human, animal, and divine demimonde that rolls in the muck and relishes the dark. This masquerade sets up a mediumistic space for metamorphoses in which a ritual allows communication to occur with the dead and the undead, the human and the more-than-human.
