Quantum Body Impressions is a collaborative performance and printmaking project by Marcos Lutyens and Francesco Siqueiros, presented at Transformative Arts Gallery and El Nopal Press in 2023. The work explores the body as a site of emotional memory and shared human experience. Through one-to-one hypnosis sessions, participants are guided to locate specific memories within the body. These memory sites are transmitted live to El Nopal Press, where Siqueiros creates corresponding monoprint impressions from a live model. The resulting works are exhibited simultaneously in both spaces, allowing audiences to witness the transformation of inner experience into physical trace. The project culminates in a limited edition of archival monoprints and a documentary video, preserving the fleeting exchange between consciousness, body, and image.
