Blindaje por resonancia. Vicente Prieto Gaggero
For Vicente Prieto Gaggero, tradition is a political tool that allows him to reflect on social control, a biopolitical exercise related to the colonial processes that dispossessed Latin American peoples. His sculptural technique of burnishing and use of clay, a sustainable material, reflects this ancestral essence and questions the control mechanisms of our postmodern cities.
In “Blindaje por resonancia”, Vicente presents panoptic structures of clay that symbolize the need of the authorities to control everything that happens within their limits. These works are a defense of the subject, resisting the power that tries to infiltrate his being. The exhibition allows the viewer to personalize this struggle, represented by an individual on the grass that could be any of us, seeking resonance in art to narrate his experience in times of virtuality.
