One thing that everyone loves to do is sleep, and that might make you interested in Yollotl Gómez Alvarado’s works.
Gómez Alvarado explores dreams and sleep, more specifically, how our bodies and health impact our relationships with each other and ourselves. He’s fascinated with this topic because he thinks it’s an “act of rebellion against the current system’s attention grab and integral exploitation of life” and our most vulnerable state. (link).

Because the topic the artist wants to convey is relatable to many, his installations and pieces are meant to bring people together.
In 2020, Gómez Alvarado presented Templo del sueño (Dream Temple) at Parque Galería that served to make us reflect on how tiredness affects our relationships with others.
Overall Gómez Alvarado is a promising new artist that we should look out for, considering his very unique themes and ideas presented in his works.
