Natalia Esteve (𝚂̶𝚎̶𝚕̶𝚏̶)

Natalia Esteve (𝚂̶𝙴̶𝙻̶𝙵̶) is a Mexican London based Artist whose practice illuminates the inherent concurrence between the undertaking of the Being-process as such and the finite impermanence of the Being that discerns and fathoms it. Through a series of embodied rituals the artist surfaces the experience of the embodiment of the disembodied state of Being in which we encounter the unconcealed 𝚂̶𝚎̶𝚕̶𝚏- Being as Being noBody. The dissolution: Being understood not as something determinate and stable, but in terms of the conditions for the emergence of entities and worlds out of concealment to unconcealment - the Self as the 𝚂̶𝚎̶𝚕̶𝚏̶.

Santuario Tabula Rasa is a place of no walls, a place of no place; of no words and no mind-made reductions of experience. Santuario Tabula Rasa is the space between the breaths- sanctuary in which we encounter the atavistic archetypal entanglement of 𝚂̶𝚎̶𝚕̶𝚏̶. It is somewhat ironic for me to use a composition of language to introduce the one thing which language is utterly unable to grasp and comprehend without it monstrously reducing it to something the human mind can comprehend and categorize for itself. Santuario Tabula Rasa lies within no existing category, it is of its own Self alone. The formless I am surfaces through the disturbances of 𝚜̶𝚙̶𝚊̶𝚌̶𝚎̶ and 𝚝̶𝚒̶𝚖̶𝚎̶ which we encounter within the Sanctuary.

Launch Project

Santuario Tabula Rasa is an endless ritual that lives outside of the time and space continuum. In the physical realm, the Sanctuary manifests itself in varying physical locations, and for unquantified amounts of time-embodying disembodiment through unconcealment of the Self and removal of Self through 𝚂̶𝚎̶𝚕̶𝚏̶

𝚂̶𝚎̶𝚕̶𝚏̶ is the dissolution of the individual and the portal into the oneness of a single energy body which births from the exchange of trust and vulnerability. The first of these Ritual’s (portrayed in video) lasted for about 8 consecutive hours and was held in London, UK.

Oneness beyond form- a whole language of Consciousness being manifested as one truth.
