Un hombre misterioso me llamó y me dijo que las compus son nubes en la jerarquía del cielo [A mysterious man called me on the phone and told me that computers are clouds in the hierarchy of the sky]
2023Un hombre misterioso me llamó y me dijo que las compus son nubes en la jerarquía del cielo was a solo show held at Camareta Espacio Experimental in Quito, Ecuador in 2023. It showcased part of my multimedia investigation into the power and implications of volatile desire and found objects. It articulated an artificial and explicitly voluntary space in which everyday fantasies unfolded in their simplicity and superficiality. Disconnected, simple and hollow they all spoke at the same time; as their voices overlapped with each other, their vaporous logics and brief coexistences were revealed. In an effort to position itself against the involuntary fantasy of memory, or at the other extreme, manifestation, the everyday fantasy that suspends, spins, unravels, re-spins logics fictions and forced symbols, executes conscious but superfluous act, trying to reconcile the frustration involved in possibility. This exhibition included a selection of fantasies, most of them distant from each other (in time and space and theme). In their different logics, sensibilities, and approaches to found objects, they aimed to represent different instances of being a collector/accumulator of fantasies.
