In the work series "The Geography of Hunger", Runo Lagomarsino uses an electric oven and baking paper where parts of the paper are covered prior to warming it up. Apart from the practical function of this overlooked and everyday material, it harbours an integral political narrative. The oven as something’s in our closest environment; An art form which can be produced at home, in isolation, and at no cost. In "The Geography of Hunger – Map", Lagomarsino has cut a stencil shaped like the Latin American continent; a burned drawing, a burned map, highlighting the colonial heritage of contemporary Latin America and the conflicts that are constitutive of colonial borders. In "The Geography of Hunger – Map", Lagomarsino continues his interest in paperworks where light, mobility and fragility are at the core of the production of the actual work. Earlier, Lagomarsino was known for his ’sun drawings’ e.g. created during a voyage across the Atlantic. The visual content was transferred to paper via the effect of sunlight and the rigging of the sailing boat. By leaving the medium at the mercy of nature and the elements, Lagomarsino exposes the frailty of the material – but also its resistance to time and chance.
