Issue #16 is a conversation with Martín La Roche.

Born in Santiago, Chile, and living now in Amsterdam, his works commonly find starting points in existing collections of objects or memories and archives as modes of storytelling. These often meet their audiences as installations or publications, but this issue of TALKER explores the role performance plays in activating the many facets of his practice. In particular, we examine formative experiences in Chile and as a resident at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, his collaboration informed by psychotherapeutic practices, Sandplay with Mirthe Berentsen, and the ongoing Musée Légitime, a museum inside a hat.

With Dongyoung Lee and Valeria Marchesini, he runs the research platform Good Neighbour and is a member of the collective To See the Inability to See with Arefeh Riahi and Maartje Fliervoet.
