Autorretrato

Autorretrato is a collaborative project with Martina Citarella that consists of an installation that emulates a photography studio. During the entirety of the exhibition, Citarella and Costobal (Grupo Campotraviesa) interact with the public using different masks that imitate the features of their own faces to address themes related to self-representation, personality and identity in the context of their migration from Chile to Mexico.
