The project is a long-term photographic taxonomy done with a scanner, equipment installed in public spaces in which Aparicio invited some passersby to have their chest area, that of the beating heart, where the body’s time is marked. Clothing is a significant element in the construction of identity. Typological comparisons establish narratives from the strength of similarity reinforced by the particularities of differences. Variables such as profession, trade or gender were highlighted, focusing on the uniqueness of the individual.
The belly button is located in the center of the body and is reminiscent of the gestation process of life. Forty navels are part of the archive, but the research continues. In fact, the artist’s body analysis approached the scanning of the whole body.
