Ernesto Pujol works as a contemporary American artist seeking the incarnate performativity of human interiority. The artist convokes ephemeral groups of citizens for his site- specific, socially engaged projects. Influenced by his diverse cultural heritage (Spain, Cuba, Puerto Rico), the artist maintains an interdisciplinary choreographic practice that creates durational, public, performative experiences as portraits of people and place, seeking to support conscious culture: the creation and sustainability of a culture of consciousness everywhere.
