Javier Barrios

Uruguay

Barrios' work addresses relationships between the minuscule and the monumental, he understands the connectedness between both worlds as a form of politic act. In recent work, fantastic, historical and scientific narratives can be observed –as well as formal and technical experiments– which together speak of the way in which human beings relate to nature, trying to decipher, contain and control it, constantly endangering sanity and life.
