Porcelanatron II is the name of a musical instrument invented by the artist himself. It is the second version of the instrument originally created in 2013 (Porcelanatron I) and the main subject of the solo show of the same title exhibited in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chile (2013). As its predecessor, Porcelanatron II is interpreted by percussing domestic porcelain objects combining tender melodies with mediated images of tragedy.
