1996 SCARIFICATIONS
( SCARIFICATIONS )
THIS WORK IS AN EMOTIONAL
LOOK AT WARS THAT MARKED XX TH CENTURY. A REFLECTION
ON HUMAN NATURE AND ITS
ABILITY TO SLIP INTO HORROR.
SCARIFICATION IS A TRIBAL
ACT THAT CONSISTS IN INCISING SKIN IN MULTIPLE PLACES
IN ORDER TO FORM AN ORNAMENT.
THIS PAINFUL PRACTICE IS INTENDED TO ASSERT IDENTITY
ON THE PERSON TO WHOM
IT'S APPLIED AND MAKES HIM STRONGER AGAINST ADVERSITY.
THE SERIES CONSIST OF
FIVE ECRU SILICON PANELS, WHOSE DIMENSIONS ARE DEFINED
BY THE ARTIST'S SIZE:
1,66 m. EACH PANNEL IS THEMATIC, AND INCISED BY SEVERAL PICTURES,
OF ONE ONLY SIZE OF 24
mm BY 36 mm. IN THIS WAY THE SCALE OF DIMENSION IS CREATED.
BOTH THE SUPPORT AND THE
IMAGES PROPOSE TWO READINGS OF THE WORK TO THE ONLOOKER:
THE GLOBAL VISION OF THE
GRAPHIC COMPOSITION'S ABSTRACTION OR THE PRIVACY OF EACH DETAIL'S
RAW AND VIOLENT LEGIBILITY. |
