Common Skin Fantasy
about
KDR is pleased to present Common Skin Fantasy, a two-person exhibition by Miami-based artists Alicia Bilbao and Alejandra Moros. September 5th - October 10th, 2026 Common Skin Fantasy marks the first time the two artists’ works have existed in dialogue, creating an environment where materials, conceptual references, and audience projections expand in uncanny ways that reflect the scope of both practices through their new paintings and sculptures. Born in Heidelberg, Germany, and moving to Miami in her teenage years, Bilbao’s sculpture-based practice exists somewhere between the histories of fictional myths and the otherwise brutal psychological revelations that reality inevitably trails. Born in Miami, Moros’s multidisciplinary practice, taking shape primarily through painting within this exhibition, explores transformation, adaptation across psychological, ecological, and collective systems, and the mirrored possibilities of fiction. Introducing their works through the unusually apt reflections on the psychoanalytic concept by Didier Anzieu, Common Skin Fantasy theorizes the imaginary state of an infant whose skin-to-skin contact through daily care leads them to feel no physical or psychological boundary between themselves and their mother, a fantasy that will eventually be disrupted by inevitable growth and an awareness of their own skin. This symbiotic dissolving of boundaries between maker and child resonates with Moros’s and Bilbao’s practices, and oddly enough, even more so when their work is placed in curatorial kinship.
