MFA Thesis Installation-Fragmentos-May 5-22, 2011
Fragmentos is an installation piece that consists of thousands of ephemeral tiles each composed by screen-printed imaginary organisms that repeats and transforms itself into narrative constantly renewed through a mosaic-like progression. Deeply rooted in the history language, this installation lies in its hybridism and the cross-breeding of a contemporary language. Fragmentos reflect an inventive language that does not follow conventions of painting, printmaking or sculpture, rather it devours all of these categories in order to create something that can easily adapt to a foreign environment. The chaos of image accumulation surpasses appearance; it is an attitude based on a Baroque ideology; which was an attempt to reflect natural ways to institutionalize linguistic behavior. Within the Latin American context, the Baroque methodology was unable to reproduce the reality of daily life with precision, resulting in a depletion of images that look fragmented and twisted.
