Abraham González Pacheco unravels the tangled threads of memory, myth, and colonial history through a multidisciplinary practice involving drawing, installation, and set design. Growing up in a rural Mexican town without a clear historical identity, he creates archaeological fictions that challenge dominant narratives by highlighting power structures and institutional corruption. His work is notable for large-scale graphite murals and installations where paint is transferred from wood to concrete surfaces, deliberately causing partial erasure and distortion of the image. This technique acts as a metaphor for the fragility of history and how memory is altered or lost over time.
