| PASADO/FUTURO,
2011 PASADO/FUTURO is an installation comprised of 1039 clay bricks commonly found in vertically on the ground in 33 rows and 32 columns. Bricks are then extracted from this group, the empty spaces forming the word “PAST” in Spanish. The extracted bricks with mortar form the word “FUTURE” in Spanish constructed on top of the existing bricks, a didactic process demonstrating the use of past to form the future. The idea of using bricks for this installation is derived from actual materials found at the chosen site for the exhibit: a vacant lot in transition. Davis Birks, 2011 A special thank you to Marcial Romero Gonzaléz and his son Marcial Guillermo Romero Santos for their support with this project. View images of the installation process here...>> |
