Simple y Complejo

This work is simple and complex.

With this production I seek to compose an emotional but incomprehensible experience. While my goal is clear and concise, I cannot say the same for my understanding of the complexity of the work. This is my work, I don’t fully understand it and that’s okay. I propose to the recipient of the work, not to analyze it, not to understand it, not to ask it, just to feel it; and I thank you for finishing it. He is as much a producer of this work as I am, or even more so. Although I give it to the world, the world is responsible for it. It’s up to the world to care for her and love her. They have the right to reject it, but why reject something that gives us meaning? We are gathered here, we had the possibility of rejecting life and yet, although as complex as we know it is, it was so simple to accept it and live it. This is my life, I don’t fully understand it and that’s okay.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development

It turns out that with this production, I understood nuances and aspects about myself. The experience was unbearable. First I proposed a control system in which I gave a total stranger an interaction that alternated between chaos and peace, concepts that I do not understand. It was despicable.

I continued to dismantle the system, trying to reinvent myself, but how can I reinvent myself if my consciousness and unconsciousness have a code base that is impossible to clean and rebuild from scratch?

Over time I got used to my formulas. I can’t change who I am, but I can understand the extent of my control. Chaos is no longer controllable and peace is only a concept that exists as a lack of chaos.

And I concluded my journey loving myself.

I know I prefer warmth when it’s cold. I know I prefer peace when there is chaos. I know that I prefer health when I am sick and I also prefer joy when I am sad. Neither my goodness is so good, nor my evil is so bad. I can’t live without contrast, without balance.

As promoted by Jose Luis Brea; The artist no longer exists, the “works” are productions that no longer end when they are exhibited in some predetermined circumstantial context. In that aspect, I propose a production that does not end today or tomorrow. I propose a visual language that I do not understand, that is not ready to be read and defined with a pragmatic conceptualization.

Defining universal concepts is such a complex contradiction that we humans constantly fall into so that we are not overwhelmed by the simplicity of perceptions.

Or also, it can be simple, as long as we understand that perception is unique and unique to each of the living beings that we are in this time and reality.

Basically, a Simple and Complex work.
