“I was several. I bring you a piece of the horizon. ”

Paul B. Preciado, Feminism is not humanism, 2014

The series Mares Womb explores the self-reproductive multiplicity of the body. The sculptures which are borne out of a ceramic piece of a mare, its tactility infers feelings of desire, becoming repositioned and rebirthed through its digital interference. The Mares Womb references Paul B. Preciado’s essay Feminism is not humanism, concerning animalism as an expansion of feminism. The work questions how we act on and experience love, the place where identity is destroyed or produced, how we imagine, and the ways we learn to desire.

This series of work stems from a preliminary clay work, which then is scanned and reproduced digitally. Multiplying itself allows the plurality of the mare’s body to reveal meaning internally, encountering its own body. The mare lying with her womb emptied, distorted into a cavernous abyss, the lack of intestines removes the mare from a physical realm. Then into another where her body through a digital intervention oscillates between the individual and the replica, until they become one.

Chupa Chups candy like, intertwined foetuses, twins feeding each other, echoes each in a circular motion of creation. They rest on a black metal surface with enough space to endure.

  • Casilda Oppe is a Spanish artist living and working in London. Oppe's sculptures explore the interdependence of all bodies and accentuate the mutability inherent in vulnerability. Rendering their form to oscillate between infancy and maturity, she explores ideas of transformation, where repetition, fragmentation and self-reproduction become focal strategies to engage herself in gestures that destabilise subjectification and the ludic nature of the meaning given to the horse in art history. She constructs synchronicities and narratives evoking symptoms of decay, metaphors of desire, rebirth and threat scenarios that slowly reveal themselves in her

    installation as an endless anagram.

    Oppe graduated from Fine Art and History of Art at Goldsmiths University of London in 2024, and is currently part of the Conditions, Digital Art Program. Recently her work has been exhibited at Half Heard, Half Seen, Conditions, London (2025) and South Open 3, Ohsh Projects, London (2025). As well as has produceding a sculpture body piece for the performance of British singer Celeste in 2024.
