Pablo Vargas Lugo

Throughout his career, Pablo Vargas Lugo has distilled a repertoire of resources that resonate in the memory of others, evoking the concern, anxiety or humour of the encounters that inspire these journeys. His work borrows from disciplines such as astronomy, cartography, epigraphy, natural history, archaeology, space technology and the language of music and film. His drawings, sculptures, installations and audiovisual works show us the mystery of writing, the fragility of conventions and the persistence of ancient traditions in unexpected costumes. In Vargas Lugo's work, language and narrative fade away, giving way to the formal aspects of the work, which activate all kinds of associations and ambiguities.
