Ánima Correa’s paintings and installations illuminate the intricate infrastructures interlocking image circulation, geopolitical relationships, and psychic space. Her work explores notions of extractive myopia, or the imaginary distance from or blindness towards physical extraction of earth minerals and substances which enable global connectivity and the endurance of colonial legacies. Through a wide-reaching research based practice encompassing optics, divination, pop culture, biophysics, geology and Latin American history, Correa threads together images which evoke the contemporary phantasmagorical experience of seeing, perceiving, and diagnosing.
