The Unfathomable Illusion that Eternity Exists
2023
Stainless steel, metal clamps and tennis racquets
120 x 82 x 100 in.
This project constitutes an ongoing series of sculptures based on the photographic experiments done by Eadweard J. Muybridge, 1930-1904 and Harold Edgerton, 1903-1990.
The series explores the experience and representation of time.
Strabismus
2019
Lithography print.
37.5 x 29.5 inches.
What seems to be a double image is the result of have printed on each paper the image of its own photograph. Just like our current relationship with images; at the end, the experience of looking at these pieces is a disorienting one: a visual confusion that makes it hard to
tell the real wrinkle from what is mere image.
We All Believe in Free Will
2021
Acrylic sheet, paint, marble.
71x94 inches
I spread paint on the surface of a marble sphere and then let it roll on a white acrylic sheet. The perimeter of the sheet was lift few inches to prevent the sphere from leaving the territory. The sphere spends freely all its potential energy from the begging to its extinction without any
movement of the surface. The trace it leaves behind gets inscribed on its own surface.
A Tale About Destiny
2021
Black and white photographic paper (Lumen print) framed with painted wooden frame.
52.12x54.70 each.
I had an exhibition in Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City. For one of the pieces in the show, we darkened the biggest room and pinned up an unexposed, black and white photographic paper. I manage to re-direct a sunbeam with a very simple mirror system to make it travel every day on the surface of that paper from 1:00 to 1:20 pm. Day after day, the Sun left a gray mark behind as it was passing by. Every week we took down the paper and pinned up a new one. These papers are the pieces I'm showing here. The pink color comes from the fixing bath the papers went through to make those images permanent. At the end, on each of these papers, a whole week of sky images were projected. This happened whether or not someone witnessed it. There's memory on these papers but there's also oblivion. There's an accumulation of time of unrecognizable landscapes. They are a logbook and they are abstractions.
