In 000, Alberto Checa constructs an immersive world that explores the ceaseless, often invisible labor endured by marginalized bodies. Drawing from his Cuban heritage and the survival tactics devised during the Special Period of the 1990s, Checa transforms everyday materials—PVC pipes, plaster, silicone molds, and repurposed household items—into elaborate, utilitarian structures. These assemblages serve both functional and performative roles, blurring the lines between process and product.
