Protecting Idols

Vidal has been exploring these past years the aesthetics that are prior to violence and its links and influence in the political and socio-economical context.
That's one of the reasons why Vidal's work has an intricate reading. Alejandro Vidal has a rigorous approach to his work and some of the issues he analyzes are not exempt of complexity.
Art should react in front of a particular world situation. Due to its new dialectics and codes we live under an uncertain and new panorama. It has important difficulties and society will need time for adaptation. To establish a one to one dialogue with this new geography is a process, a time gap. It's at this point where Alejandro Vidal explores to create new signs and questions to start interpretating these conflicts.
At ADN Vidal will present, for first time in Spain, one of his latest videos and a photo series, in large format, titled ' An anatomy of Violent Crime' which proposes notions of insecurity and threat. Vidal modifies Victim / attacker concept making unclear that way his work understanding when placing the aggressor in the axis 'reaction' against power and government structures.
Alejandro Vidal work bring references from urban culture , martial art manuals , early rave techno , 80's cult movies and punk movement ..etc He operates in different media like video, drawing, photography or installation.
