The artist presents an heterogeneous archivethat continues the line of work of his previous project Speculatus Offset, developed onthe occasion of his achievement of Beca de Artes Plásticas scholarship granted by theMarcelino Botín Foundation in 2010.
Questioning pre established ideas about the ways in which knowledge materializes,and the role played by perception in the cognitive process, Felipe Cortés presents anintervention in which sediments of information generate new interpretative contexts.Like a constellation, a processual and nomad logic is set in opposition to a straightreading of the text.
