The Elusive Years

‌

Mauricio Alejo

Mauricio Alejo. Baloons, 2004

I hope to bring the items into a new narrative which doesn’t obey their functionality. Mauricio Alejo Collater.al (Interview)

“Most of my pieces come from thoughts that are not yet formed as an idea. The results, devoid of explicit meaning or metaphor, point in every direction. The psychological remanent created by the violence inflicted on this narrative sometimes presents itself as absurdity but this is just a byproduct of what, it really is, a primal, somewhat idiosyncratic, experience of the world.”
