Description

This intriguing artwork challenges perceptions by merging the human form with technology. It depicts a figure with a vintage television set replacing its head, crouched in a dimly lit, bare-walled room. The stark contrast between the muted environment and the vibrant, multicolored screen creates a striking focal point. This screen emits an intense glow, illuminating the surrounding area and drawing attention to the open trapdoor beneath the figure. The composition suggests themes of escapism, surveillance, or the impact of media on identity. The use of a retro television introduces a nostalgic element, contrasted by the unsettling, futuristic concept of a human-machine hybrid. The confined space evokes feelings of isolation, prompting reflections on the consuming nature of technology. This thought-provoking piece compels viewers to contemplate the intersections of humanity and machinery, pushing the boundaries of self-identity in the digital age.

From the series Ser Cosa …this series of portraits that at first glance appear to us as extraterrestrial beings, once we understand the images they become more familiar than they appear, “humans too human” perhaps more human than they appear. And for Adorno's negative dialectic, the problem was given as a human being in a world hostile to humans, the characters of Etem seem so natural to us to the extent that their presence is outside the pose of the portraits of the kings of the past, rather resemble the workers, peasants, common people in general, portrayed by Gustave Courbet or the realists of the mid-19th century, these new realists are captured by the camera in the usual development of their daily lives, in the hostile world of the desert or the swamp or the storm… Hernán Pacurucú. curator Fragment of the text: A glacial aesthetic.
