is a Cuban-American multi-disciplinary artist based in Los Angeles who’s best known for a performance were he lived inside the walls of a gallery without speaking for 3 weeks. Diaz was born in 1991 in Cuba, one of the last surviving Communist systems after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

His practice deals with the subversion of phenomenological meaning through material transformations and placing active spectators at the center of the work, positing paradoxes that are left for the audience to decipher.

Diaz’s work has been exhibited in Cuba, the United States, Germany, India and Turkey. Some of these include “Interface, Art and Community in the Ahmanson Collection”; “Cubans: Post Truth, Pleasure, and Pain” at Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art; “Home Land Security”, curated by Cheryl Haines at For-Site Foundation; participation in Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA at the Torrance Art Museum; participation in the 10th and 11th Havana Biennials, and an exhibition in collaboration with Gabriel Orozco in Havana.
