“The human being is constantly afraid of himself. His erotic movements terrify him… I don’t think the
man has the slightest chance to shed a little light on all that before dominating him.”
-George Bataille
A pictorial and at the same time three-dimensional format series in which De la Garza revisits his plastic and conceptual questions using appropriation as a starting point. Guido Reni, Caravaggio or José de Ribera are now some of the masters who inspire the series in which the gazes of his portraits play the main role, providing a bipolar content and message.
As a counterpoint, different “objects” break into the scene altering it, infringing it,
outraging it…completing it. Sacredness or eroticism, suffering or pleasure, holy or profane, rational or animal.
They are the questions of the series where once again the viewer will have the last
word.
