Skepticism presupposes that humans are just arrogant monkeys who dare to say they know truths and possess knowledge. The body is one of the many fictional containers, where knowledge creates the illusion of the complexity of being. In truth what causes it is the decomposition into smaller and useless parts, causing the fracture of being itself. The Dominican divides his body according to his ancestors (African, Spanish, Indigenous, among others) where some characteristics are more visible than others, each part of the body has its own symbolic charge and values.

Opening: June 7, 20:00 – 23:00

In his current artistic research, Jainsen studies complexity, Cartesian doubt and science. Jainsen sees these themes as a single phenomenon that produces fictions, dresses contemporary times under the aesthetics of “safe” and organizes and amplifies kinetic violence as a promise of security. At ARE Jainsen explores personal stories, family and friends, narrates stories and generates metaphors in a different environment, where he can appreciate his tropical and insular environment from afar.

Jainsen studied Architecture and Visual Arts in the Dominican Republic and did a master’s in film art Direction in Barcelona. He has worked on his personal artistic work, participating in national and international exhibitions and residences, and in the national and international film industry.
