Invasion Gama 8 and 2, 2019

Fredy Saul Serrano  

This series of analog collages is constructed from precise assemblages of printed fragments, forming symmetrical compositions that suggest entities or emissaries from an alternate cosmic order. The work integrates visual resources from contemporary graphic material and industrial elements, reorganized into organic-mechanical structures. This system of pieces offers an abstract reading of the tension between the expansion of human consumerism and the emergence of a new self-regulating nature, translated into morphologies that evoke symbolic artifacts from a non-human dimension. Serrano's artistic work centers on an interest in exploring his territory and its representation. In recent years, he has focused on the natural sciences as an object of study for his research and creation, seeking to establish connections between remembered events and other fictions in his imagination. This line of work emerges from the investigations he has conducted in a territory called Laguna, whose meaning expands into synonyms and/or other definitions of the word—for example, when speaking of a "mental gap"—which are translated into the visual metaphors of this place, constructed from childhood memories.
