Monalisas
This work, in process, started in April and developed from the ambiguity that unites dream and reality. Initially called Pixelated Portraits, its object is the anonymous faces that today exhaustively populate direct transmissions (LIVES) on digital platforms.
Fiction and reality are merged in this “infinite time” of connections and the “limit” exposed in their ruptures. Creatures emanate from a canvas - room, place - that, in principle, appears cold and unknown. I try to contain the presence as I watch the back and forth surreal and fleeting movement. At other times I am provoked by the autonomy of the pixels, these tiny and almost invisible beings in their luminous and fragmentary simplicity, contemplating “the other” in their unknown vulnerability, vulnerability that deforms and reconfigures what before seemed to conform. A brief crack opens up, erasing the excesses that emanate from that extremely ordered reality, announcing the new, revealed in this micro disruption of time.
