Desciudades
Desciudades
For his second exhibition at the Gallery Mamia Bretesché, Luis Moragon goes on
exploring the theme "Desciudades", which he started investigating with his
exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Elche, Spain, in May 2007.
In this work the city, far from appearing as a harmonious architecture, is brought
back to a simple geometrical grid, to a juxtaposition of cells which may suggest
either buildings or imaginary landscapes. The grid works as a synonym of
imprisonment, of anonymity, or the gap between the individual and the world, inside
and outside. Behind these cells/windows, all similar to one another, hide many
different beings, relating to each other in many different ways.
The grid seems to divide the inner and the outside world, but also to trace possible
lines of contact. It filters and focuses the viewer's gaze but also troubles it by
disseminating it in so many similar places.
The works exhibited at the gallery intermingle various forms of expression
(paintings and photos) which influence and complete one another.
