Fragmento de Hauntopolis XI

Santiago Talavera

Through drawing, painting and video, Santiago Talavera prefigures and reconstructs space by exploring the imaginative possibilities of nature. His scenes seem to form a fragmented history where the recently occurred and the imminent. His works open up avenues for speculation, and the conflicts arising from the relationship between culture and nature seep through.

In this direction, his work leaves traces of a landscape permeable to overtly political questions of a collective nature that transcend personal domains. Hauntopolis, his current project to be released in 2020, reclaims the utopian tradition in a personal interpretation of how to deal with the disappointment of a cultural present that folds in on itself.

Horror vacui operates in his work as a reaction to this history in pieces. In his works he creates surprising accumulations and superimpositions, resorting to collage, “simulating” glitch. Talavera’s imaginary is marked by mistrust of the world, leading to the conclusion that we are a plague.
