Überlegung 13,1º
Carlos Irijalba develops a work between the presentation and the representation of the object. His work practices a breach between informed by the western culture and the flooded thing by this one.

Überlegung runs between photography and sculpture centered in the relation of our civilization with its physical and conceptual surroundings. The project leaves from the mutation of an automobile of last generation, a vector loaded of connotations. Here the automobile acts as a transient object, a vector that only understands a direction and the advance to which it gives body is totally indiscriminate. The piece flexes on the pathetic traction of the paradigm to which it illustrates.
