visual artist explores the hidden violence of social structures and power through a disturbing exhibition that mixes sculpture, drawing and human prostheses. Here, his views on the idiot box, silicone and Telethon.
"Your show is called" Suite-Skipper. " Why did you put that title?
"The title consists of two expressions connected by a hyphen desunidamente: the word" suite "which refers to a musical form that mixes different tones, and" pattern ", whose meaning may be" model "or" owner. " From this point of view, "Suite-Master" is about the insidious violence live in certain social structures that appear as harmless.
What viewers see is a large "sculpture" made of wood chipboard, a series of seven drawings made in ink and graphite on graph paper. Y-site work consisting of a large ornamental design made with house dust adhered to the wall.
"Your work speaks also of the relations of the show. Is it a criticism of the TV, the entertainment, silicone?
"My work articulates a critical commentary on our society spectacularized. In fact, Chile perceive it as a permanent show, but low budget. From the official policy to certain agents cultural, meet the social role of television harlequins and art, carnivalized everything. The eternal celebration of culture and "cool."
"Considering that the Chileans spend most time in front of the screen. What do you think about phenomena like "SQP", the paparazzeo and opinología?
"I cause embarrassment. The logic of these programs is to denigrate and to be denigrated. Both positions, otherwise interchangeable, eventually translate into dividends for both the aggressor as the victim. It is a perfect circle where everyone wins. The fuel that feeds the poor and undignified circus is the sleaze and decadence, both spectators and drivers, true clowns latter toasted by the stage lights. Now, little or nothing can be done. I tend to think that, similarly to scavengers or parasites that ensure the natural balance of a given ecosystem, such events are required, although I do not understand very well why.
- The Telethon is not saved?
"I think that after the immoral advertising millionaire trademarks and white faces smile charitable television, there is so supportive. Although it seems a joke, many of these "figures" who ask us for humanity and money are the same who later skinned the whole screen or morning star cannibals
