“For many years, the idea of correteo has come with deep shame. My repression towards it has denied me the possibility of further exploring its potential, and has distanced me from my inner child. Today, I see correteo under a new light. I claim it as a significant agent in my own development, and the foundation for my design identity.”

Correteo represents a highly introspective practice rooted in a deeply personal space of creative expression. It unfolds as two interconnected projects: one emerging from an autoethnographic healing process, and another focused on dissecting personal creative rituals with the intention of collectivising them. Practices drawn from my own upbringing are reframed as meditative and creative possibilities and interrogated against my own prejudices. This process creates a space in which I disclose fundamental aspects of my persona while developing and testing unconventional design processes.

Following months of self-analysis, childhood recollection, and essential conversations with family members, the insights of Correteo materialise in three final pieces. These works are exhibited alongside the project’s process at Margarita Studio as part of the exhibition Process Porn. The first piece, A Series of Conditions of Possibility Towards the Disposition of Correteo, presents a set of identified circumstances that enable correteo, proposing conditions rather than a guided methodology. The remaining two pieces take the form of journal entries in which correteo is thoroughly examined. One is grounded in a collection of personal anecdotes, and the other reflects on Correteo as a creative framework and practice made available to the public.
