Benditas Ruinas | Beautiful Ruins
2019
MAVI - Museo de Artes Visuales, Santiago.
The photograph of a 1.8-million-year-old skull of a human being ancestor is the point of departure for the work that Nicolás Franco will present at the MAVI. Beautiful Ruins features artist’s work produced specifically for the museum. Over the last ten years, Nicolás Franco has explore diverse ways of revealing gaze and history through images. Central to his work is the relation between the universe of collective memory and everyday experience, together with an expansion of the vocabulary of photography and painting and its perception. His large scale paintings and assamblages focus, ultimately, on the very process of their creation.
