The Captives, 2019

Curated by Lorena Moreno Vera
Kunstbuero, Vienna, AT–November, 2019

What an absurd and relentless attempt of men to tame nature and time, for this relation and its effects are rather reciprocal. We pursue to find a sensible arrangement for this period called life, trying to fathom what surrounds us. The Captives is the result of a series of conversations reflecting on one’s allure towards self-sought captivity around a situation, person, or state, enticed by a certain degree of seduction and uncertainty acting at an equal level. This relation and its unfolding events translate into futile attempts to escape, driven by a desire to possess.
