The installation is part of the Ex Voto cycle of works.
“With Totem I have created ex-votos, idols or altars that seem accumulate mysterious energies. They were
born to exorcise my inner demons, but then they reach a balance between gravity and lightness, between
tragedy and irony of life. However they help me in a storytelling of resilience.
The scale is changeable, a rhythm that ranges from the smallest to the gigantic, the shapes are statuary
subjects or they pervade the space becoming a container. From that universe, ancestral and enigmatic
forms, that I am still exploring, have also sprung from surgical sectioning, if we may say so.”
The installation consists in the combination of two elements: a sculpture and a video projection.
The sculptural part is composed by a body (iron and burnt wood) and a suspended brain (nylon, metallisation, car paint).
The video projection is a generartive digital animation, a travel inside the brain which frees mysterious and ancestral forms it contains.
