Elevación is an animation that results of the role-play games that took place during the workshop Humano no Humano held at MAMBO during three weeks in February 2019. With eleven co-participants, Millán developed several sessions in which discussions were held regarding role-play games and their different manifestations over time. The sessions included discussions around propaganda and its capacity for manipulation, feminism and its presence in video art, the aesthetics of music movements, and the possibilities offered by the digital worlds in which we currently move.
The final piece was presented as a video installation specially commissioned for the Museum space, and was complemented by a set of water colors in which Ana Maria depicted the participants merging with their characters. The show also included other pieces that helped the narrative of the show and a better understanding of the
artist's work.
