Alejandro Almanza Pereda
Whistling past the graveyard 2011 Video 8.31
Rove Gallery, Hoxton Square, London
13 May - 11 Jan 2011
A few things to note:
1. Torch's eye view - space in darkness is unfolded by the movement of a torch in hand of a person with unknown identity.
2. Story-telling by the trajectory of the torch for the constructed artefacts in the sequence.
3. Traces of the objects that tell the story of the unknown owner - lit, touched and rejected.
4. Spatial narrative manipulated by the intensity between the pitch black and the sound of heavy breathing - between the torch-scape and the sound-scape
5. 'Travelling across the US and Mexican border brought Almanza Pereda to explore a variety of situations of intense contrast and sensibility. One may describe such an apporach as an exploration of the safe and secure as opposed to the dangerous and unmasked through the use of precarious experimental assemblages with a poetic narrative.'
