Vent of the Organ /Installation 2018
The project proposes representation from a symbolic and autobiographical perspective based on dissatisfaction and social questioning, in the field of immediate reality.
Issues such as environmental pollution and suffocation are materialized in order to represent what is rarefied (vitiated) in our world, caused by prejudice, damage and infamy in society, exacerbated consumerism and mass production. These are approached and used as a starting point from the view of the use and abuse, both of everyday objects and of human behaviors and customs, experimenting with the direct and piercing interpellation of the spectator through an imagery that is both desolate and struck at the same time.
Individualism leads directly to us drowning in our own trash ignoring the collective consciousness, which all utopia pretends to have. We do not get involved with others, our interest only lies in ourselves. This is my representation of the defragmentation of organs trying to beat the passing of time. The sculpture outside represents and reflects the lungs of a human being which invite the viewer to contemplate an interior on its way to extinction.
