Memory
Los 43
Los 43 approaches disappearance as a condition in which absence itself becomes the only verifiable truth. In contexts where official narratives fracture, contradict, or dissolve, what remains undeniable is the void.
The work reflects on how violence operates not only through physical erasure, but through the destabilization of meaning. When images, testimonies, and facts are consumed by competing narratives, absence ceases to signify lack and begins to function as evidence. The empty space is not symbolic—it is material, political, and real.
In a post-truth landscape, where certainty is constantly negotiated, absence stands as the most persistent form of presence.
El desgaste de la memoria, (2021-2023)
Today, our construction of reality is deeply tied to the image. In our attempt to preserve memory, we accumulate and share images without noticing that, through each process of digital compression, they lose information and gradually deteriorate.
El Desgaste de la Memoria explores how this degradation affects the image, information, and ideology—and therefore reality itself. The project simulates the compression algorithms used by digital platforms, revealing how content—historical moments, political ideologies, complex messages—becomes homogenized and simplified as it circulates, adapting to an increasingly diminished capacity for attention.
