(CON)TEXT

Homo Indifferens. Horizon and landscape is composed through two pieces and a
installation staged under on of them.

- Horizonte de Indiferencia / over the Fallen.

- Superposiciones. Paisaje 003.

I made this proposal for the Aparador 22 - Girona / Spain

Homo Indifferens.
Horizon and landscape.

Indifference is established as the adaptive response to a traumatic environment.

In 2019, a series of issues arose that led me to seriously debate whether to
continue with my artistic work; What was the point of any type of expression or
willingness to share if this fog of indifference had been established? What was its
origin? What would the landscapes be like that we would project, and therefore
find ourselves inhabiting?

I could not continue without eviscerating these doubts, these visions of a hyperatrophied
SELF, a being that was transforming its horizon, understood as one of all possibilities to a confinement within itself, while forgetting the existence of any “other” as a subject. An open labyrinth. A ruin where, exhausted, he would be hypnotized by empty entertainment.

From a single temporal possibility; immediacy, the individual is stripped of the foundation of all vital construction: a time of development.

FALL

Homo Indifferens rises.
I must already be one.
What is the landscape that I think I inhabit?
It is not about space, since there is only one space for me: ME.
It is a landscape of time dictating of sum ad infinitum.
In disproportion I do not seek to fit in but to prevail.
Without space there is only room for one type of movement, the one that will
indirectly define the projections of my environment, one that answers to a single premise: supremacy.

One order over another!

The Fall is not necessarily downwards…
