Description"Pujol is a site-specific performance artist, social choreographer, and educator with an interdisciplinary practice. His work in painting, prints, installations, and photography explores concepts of exile, memory, freedom, and gender. Baptism (Catechumen) (2009) is a diptych of two images presented as a single photographic print, in which Pujol captures a spiritual moment when a figure disappears into the water."
