Informed by a diverse array of ideologies and references found in political theory, mythology, art history, and philosophy, David Correa’s multi-disciplinary practice paints surreal images of the Latin laborer's desperation, resentment, and sorrow.

His work explore post-humanism and the efficiency of the human body as a system which can be modified, reflecting on narratives associated with his childhood, research, referencing collective aspects of Latin American situationism and cultural identity. Through burning fuel, and pull starting the combustion engines used in his performances, Correa weaves together narratives which chronicle a rebellion, a martyr, and the laborer’s relationship to the tool and the self through a lens of fantastical realism. Utilizing performance, video, objects, and imagery, his practice creates a world/mythology which renders the laborer as an absurdist figure.
