Toranzo Jaeger uses pre-Columbian Mexican embroidery techniques to twist familiar motifs from well-known Western artworks, imagining an existence outside of structural systems of power. Using recurring images of queer love, lush tropical vegetation and brightly coloured flora, mixed with symbols of economic power – cars, engines and spaceships – she opens a critical reflection on the potential of an alternative future detached from the accepted lexicon of neocapitalist consumption and in which colonialism is definitively overcome.
