Pablo Pérez Palacio artistic project deal with the memory and how the memories work. “Todo lo que queda” is the title of his presented proposal within the context of the initiative “Impulso Lateral”. It can be visited till the next 8 of November at the Pablo Serrano Museum.

The spectator comes to an installation, a mountain of colored papers that represents “the metaphysic of the memory”, the memories. From there, two other pieces that take up both walls of the room are formed. Make up the first various reliquaries filled with papers but separated by colors, which explains, "The human being is different from their memories" ", and how faces them, through "de-contextualization, the loss to remember". And the second, titled mental constructions, which tries to show how man through the "imagination build his own real memories".

The colors are very important in the work of Pablo Pérez Palacio because they are used to "associate colors and ideas"; Hence the blue, more spiritual; and green, more emotional; but the artist considers that "color suggests more than it is", is a "metaphor to suggest". Same as dimensions, which are important because they serve to remember and plan the future. What the artist remembers are mental constructions.

VIDEO-ART / / these three parts form a whole, reacts how his will before this disorder, the passage of time with your forgetfulness and change as the only certainty of life.

Apart, includes a video of the Zaragoza artist, although based in Madrid,
Marta L. Lázaro, in which faces Olivia Tomé and the own Pablo Pérez Palacio. Facing each other, she, with a green t-shirt; he as the blue, spirit and emotion... they talk and converse, inspired by the work of the Zaragoza. And also as a result of it, Pablo Pérez Palacio has created a new piece, where it is interpreted his work, “The color as metaphor”, where there is a variation, since instead of the white background, the background is black and colors - as if you had positive image - are similar, although is increase the color palette.

In the presentation, as well as the artist, attended Marisa Cancela, Director of the Museum Pablo Serrano; and Nacho Escuín, director general of culture of the Government of Aragon, who said that from the institution "continue giving continuity" to the initiative because they want to "support to young artists". He also noted that want to implement "new formulas" but that will be "when are budgets approved", that there will be a new call to help in young artists.
