Abstract
This paper presents a reflection on the relationship between feeling and estrangement in dialogue with the work In a Coma state by María Elvira Escallón. The work presents, in its different series, some estrangements from the hospital bed that link the situation of oppression that the Hospital San Juan de Dios emblematizes of Colombian society and that interrogates the feeling and its possibilities of criticism and persistence. The intersection between the readings of the three series of the work, the words of the artist herself and some theoretical elements -such as Perniola’s sensology, among others-, allow us to point out the way in which the work appeals to feeling to provide an alternative to the present as a possibility.
