About
The construction of memory within a society allows us to understand how this element is defined and how the future is built. Thus, within my artistic practice I find significant and relevant to explore the discourse built around the identity of my country and the ideal of the nation; an element that I believe must still be explored and articulated in order to configure an identity that is bound to the political. In this sense, my work uses a series of elements that seek to generate metaphors that allow me to propose reflections around History and the specific Narrative that defines Colombia as a Nation, acknowledging an articulation in this particular discourse and recent History.
Using materials such as wood, electrical and electronic elements - such as motors and printers on media such as paper - I generate installations that allow me to propose works whose central interest is to remember through simple repetitive actions that question elements linked to national and individual identity of the public.
In that sense, I seek to controvert the National Imaginary, to generate tension from specific points in History, composing experiences that allow the public to think on their present and how to build the future.
