La Coñocharca, 2023

Performance-installation

Coño-Charca is a site-specific intervention developed in a rural context, where landscape, feminism, and eco-political reflection converge. A pond excavated in the shape of a vulva becomes both terrain and symbol — a gesture that reclaims the female body from objectification and returns it to the earth as presence, pleasure, and autonomy.

By positioning herself within the space as a living clitoris, Izrego transforms the work into an embodied act of irony and affirmation. The piece engages ecofeminist thought, acknowledging the historical link between the control of women’s bodies and the exploitation of nature. Here, soil, water, and flesh form a single political surface.

Referencing feminist art histories — from Judy Chicago to Carolee Schneemann and beyond — Coño-Charca does not reproduce iconography but relocates it into lived territory. In the rural setting of El Telart, the gesture acquires additional density: it is not only representation, but land intervention; not only metaphor, but excavation.

The work invites viewers to reconsider pleasure as political space, to question inherited norms, and to restore visibility to what has long been marginalized or misunderstood. In this landscape, the body is neither spectacle nor shame — it is ground.
