Artwork location: United States

This captivating artwork presents a figure against a luminous backdrop, blending audacious creativity with bold symbolism. The subject, crouched atop a pure white surface, is adorned in an eccentric ensemble: a flamboyant red neckpiece and a bright yellow lower garment. A striking wearable sculpture, resembling a retro boombox, crowns the figure, adding a dynamic auditory visual cue. The character wields a staff topped with a vivid yellow orb, reminiscent of a celestial body or mystical instrument, suggesting themes of power or enlightenment. The figure's footwear and painted legs further contribute to the unconventional aesthetic, emphasizing a fusion of modern culture and abstract artistry. This piece uniquely juxtaposes vivid colors and forms, provoking curiosity and sparking imaginative interpretations about identity, technology, and cultural expression.

From the series Ser Cosa Archival pigment print on fine art paper Unframed …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. Approach to the contemporary photography of Rodrigo Etem
