ARRIBA ABAJO DENTRO DENTRO

EXHIBITED IN TABLEAU SHOWROOM, DECEMBER 2022.

‘ARRIBA ABAJO DENTRO DENTRO’ IS A COLLECTION OF OBJECTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS THAT DIALOGUE WITH EACH OTHER, TELLING A STORY OF DISTANT GEOGRAPHIES, MEDITATIVE MEMORIES AND IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS.

AFTER A FEW YEARS AWAY FROM HOME, CARLOS GOT INTERESTED IN THINGS THAT ARE IN A PLACE WHERE THEY DON ́T REALLY BELONG, AND HOW OBJECTS, IMAGES AND PLACES BUILD UP OUR MEMORIES AND IDENTITIES. THE EXHIBITION IS CONCEIVED AS A GAME OF SUBTLE CONNECTIONS AND RESONANCES BETWEEN MATERIALS, COLORS AND NARRATIVES. CONNECTIONS THAT REVEAL THEMSELVES SLOWLY, DURING A CALM CONTEMPLATION.

THE TITLE (SPANISH FOR “UP-DOWN-SLOW-SLOW”) REFERS TO A GUIDED OR INSTRUCTED CHOREOGRAPHY. IT RELATES TO HOW THE ELEMENTS IN THE SHOW RELATE TO EACH OTHER, AND ALSO TO THE WAY IN WHICH THEY CREATE A WAY TO STAY IN SPACE ON DIFFERENT SCALES. FROM COLORS THAT REPEAT IN THE EXHIBITION TO OBJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN TRANSPORTED FROM DISTANT LOCATIONS TO TABLEAU ́S GALLERY.
