Emilio Rojas was born in Mexico City. He is a multimedia and performance artist whose works explore the relation between the artist and his audience, interacting and exchanging roles. His works require the participation of the viewer, in order to set in motion the metaphors that unveil the intricacy of his art. The intrinsic relation with the body has been both his subject matter and medium. Exploring the mental and physical limits of his being, Emilio revaluates standards of beauty, activism, gender, traditions and sexuality. He is currently living in Vancouver, B.C., enrolled at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. His performance, videos and collaborative works have been exhibited in Mexico, United States, Canada, Austria, England, Germany, and Australia.
