Ximena Diaz

Ximena Diaz’’s Differentiation uses multiple video clips of an identical sidewalk scene, with each clip set to correspond to a specific subjective category—white, black hair, unemployed, short, etc. Within each clip, all people not conforming to the clip’s set category are digitally removed, suggesting the futility of such categorization. Diaz has exhibited and taught extensively in her native Bogotá, Columbia.
