This work reflects about the sculpture and drawing as two joined behaviors of contemporary art, more than two independent disciplines. I consider it more as an experience that involves many aspects and not only the visual and contemplative. I’m interested in complete experiences that involve all the senses through this work.
To produce a work with modern art forms, with products industrially manufactured in China or in any other country of Asia or Latin America it’s a way of rethink the modernity in contemporary terms, it is to assume its absence in countries like mine where the modernity never completely arrived; however its still present in every electoral promise and some occasional editorial in the newspaper, asking for the arrival of the modernity as a requirement to progress of the people. It’s here where this piece fits, proposing parasitic modernity and untimely that lives at the expense of the wholesale market in a capitalist society.
