Celestino Boutique. Hernán Aguirre

Celestino Boutique departs from the construction of a large design: a piece of furniture that functions as a container for the artist’s personal archive. From it, a dialogue emerges between familiar objects, paintings and invented elements, where the real, the lie and surreal blend together to narrate his own life as a fiction. Each object and each image act as fragments of stories that did not always happen, but reveal logics and relationships inherent to the personal archive. The exhibition, which features a curatorial text by Leto Ybarra, reflects on the notion of sculpture and the possibilities of avoiding it, blurring the boundaries between object and installation, and putting into tension what it means to construct.
