‘In search for a more intimate and complex contact with the beholder, Ernesto has conceived a series of polyamide and polystyrene sculptures that must be worn by the beholder like bags and prostheses. After the touch and penetration, there comes the time to wear. However, it is not really a matter of “wearable art”, or a crossing between art and fashion. When wearing the sculptures, we feel in our skin and our body their weight, volume and texture. We can walk with the Humanóides (Humanoids). Their verticality is provided by us and the notion of anthropomorphism depends on the human body carrying the sculpture. We can also seat on the Humanóide, which gets more flexible and protects us, within it and with it. They are fat and soft sculptures of different heights: small, to be used by children; taller, for adults. These Humanóides have sex or gender: behind the sculpture there is an orifice which our arm can penetrate and inside we find something that feels like a feminine or masculine organ. The Humanóides are sculptures above all, with sculptural presence and physicality. The sculpture’s skin and body adhere to ours.’ (credit)
