Martín Lanz Landazuri (CDMX-NYC) is a performing artist who works across disciplines, collaborating and drawing on different sources and inputs to create landscapes and spatial experiences by organizing sound, light, and rhythm into bodily-perspective environments. I’m interested in studying and understanding different territories and regions, and assembling them with the goal of creating fluid pathways to transit within.
