About
ALL THESE PRETTY FACES ARE DEAD NATURES I WOULD RATHER FLEE.
Modern ruins also engulf abandoned objects, debris and dysfunctional tools. Waste is a modern ruin. The interest in ruins is not merely an evocation of a modern spleen spirit. More than just a playground for one’s imagination or voyeurism, contemporary ruins illustrate a history of functionality gone wrong as usefulness is lost through usage and discarded for novelty.
In that sense, they entail not only a hint of how time passes, but also of how these pieces fail to take part in a renovation cycle, how cities fail to balance out waste and renew their inner cycles. In what way may immediate objects be seen as ruins? Ruins are remnants.
Remnants entail an emotional tie with space. On the other hand, ruins require some kind of decay in order to be seen as such. What if these objects that look familiar, intact, are in fact not what they seem to be?
Rodrigo plays with these notions inasmuch as his work tends to point to some kind of illusion, thus underlining that the content underneath the surfaces may hide more than the immediate recognition they suggest.
Memory is a geography within geographies, a way of drawing a space out of the space that enables it. Objects thus abide the same lines, but with different rules.What else could fit this space of memory as well as an anonymous, shiny, ethereal white box?
We needed something that could isolate this space so that it does not resemble space itself. Indeed, that is essential to underlining how space may be transformed into something that simultaneously resembles it and subverts it, fixing a momentary lapse, sight, in an everlasting gaze.
