About the Item

Artist's statement: In the last years, parallel to photography and video, I have been making works on canvas, prints, drawings, collages, and small installations. Many of these pieces depict a cast of characters that are inanimate objects, toys and figurines that I find in flea markets, antique stores, and other odd places. The objects have a double existence. On the one hand they are mere appearance, insubstantial ornaments, but, at the same time, have a gaze that can be animated by the viewer, who, through it, can project the inclination to endow things with an interiority and identity. These "theatrical vignettes" are constructed as visual comments that speak of the human condition. I am interested in the simultaneity of humor and distress, banality and the possibility of meaning.

  • Herbario de plantas artificiales. Expedición México (Floripondio)
    By Alberto Baraya
    Located in Mexico City, MX
    Alberto Baraya’s work resonates within the relation men-science-nature, and deals more specifically with the aesthetics of the naturalists’s journeys and the concept of exotism. His practice involves long trips that replicate some of the mechanisms of Eurocentric colonization such as making inventories of nature or of the population’s physical features. On his work he re-contextualizes those methodologies highlighting the ideological and aesthetical choices which give them form. In the ongoing series Artificial Plant...
