Dario Escobar’s site-specific installation, "Observe & Reverse LVII," is on view in the main section of ZONA MACO and part of the fair’s 20th-anniversary program.
The captivating work consists of three modules which gather 160 soccer balls sewn inside out, forming a large, cloud-like object. For Escobar, sports equipment reflects globalism, representing objects of multinational brands that have swept across cultures and countries. "Observe & Reverse LVII" delves into the concept of accumulation, gathering merchandise as the fundamental material for contemporary sculpture.
