Estética negativa y la degradación (descomposición y muerte) del cuerpo en el arte contemporáneo

Some contemporary artistic expressions base their discourses on the body to draw attention to its fragility, perishability, and subjugation in various areas of contemporary life. The presence of body degradation or its representation in a non-canonical way, at the antipodes of beauty, has an expressive and reflective impact on these aspects that develop from the incorporation of negative aesthetic categories such as the grotesque or the abject, characteristics of the processes of decomposition and death of the individual in its material dimension. This characterizes a radical art that introduces chaos into form and opposes the dominant reason and the existential issues that emanate from it.
