Red

"Red shows us a still life with apples and pomegranates in which small changes of light convey centuries of painting; two hands, a rudimentary instrument made of wood, a canvas and pomegranate seeds which are methodically crushed to tinge everything in bright red, trickling a liquid color that oozes sensuality; then an exterior overflowing with life while a calf is being killed, skinned and dissected, in a violent ritual normalized by the busy living surrounding it; a white tablecloth, hands of an elderly woman peeling a pomegranate and seeding arils that progressively invade the space of the image; a ferocious dogfight which show how brutal any fighting is. The soundless installation is both fierce and voluptuous, taking us into a slower time in which the form of the ritual (be it a still life or an animal in agony) tells of resistance and a persistence from which we cannot break free and that will continue to resurface."
