Dark Mirror: Carlos Amorales
published Mar 3, 2008
This exhibition presents Dark Mirror, 2004/05, a double video projection by the leading Mexican artist Carlos Amorales, which became part of the IMMA Collection in 2005.
Amorales's practice uses drawing as the basis from which to develop paintings, video animations and performances.
In Dark Mirror Amorales presents an animation by graphic designer André Pahl and an original score of piano music, performed by the composer and musician José María Serralde.
The result is a nightmarish animation depicting man and beast in apocalyptic scenes, the imagery of which is rooted in contemporary popular symbols and Mexican icons.
The workwas developed using Liquid Archive - Amorales's electronic database of digital drawings based on appropriated images and personal memories.
