Alternate memory

My personal production explores the possibility of an alternate memory, of a remembrance based on the agency of objects of the past to provoke us to confederate actions with them and to develop new narratives and visual pronouncements.
Faced with the impossibility of remaking -verosimilarly- the fractured past, I propose the invention of a memory rooted in the present and territorialized, gestated not from security but from fragility.
Absence, residue and fragment are the minimal units of meaning that guide my interest in assembling a catalog of decontextualized and invisibilized objects.
My sculptures and banners imagine and hybridize temporalities, techniques and formal catalogs of different stages of our cultural horizon in pursuit of a reparation of the damage by restoring the collective imaginary and compensating the affected communities (@dept_resilient_objects) while, on the other hand, corroborating the multiple lives that objects possess and their power to actively require us.
