How do We See Ourselves in the Mirror? About the Instititutionality 2020

Museum of Contemporary Art and Design

Francisco Amighetti National Prize 2020

it is part of a broader research on development and human rights, which I have been supplementing with other topics for more than a decade. For this exhibition project I interviewed many people, professionals and street people, fellow artists and acquaintances in general. It was a way of detailing the conceptual construction process and of being able to take the temperature on a small scale for Costa Rican society. From the beginning of the research for this project, I assumed that it was a "mandatory reflection" on essential changes in daily life and the integral development of Costa Rica, in the last 10 years. As an artist it became an indispensable task to understand how my country and the world is changing and what position and role I was going to take as a contemporary artist. The text became one of the main characters, or rather multiple characters ( Such as: Voting is good? What about natural resourses? Do you live in fear? In the same boat? We/the others?, etc, etc.) that question and wait for the public's response, either in their hearts or in a black stripe painted on the wall as a blackboard..

All these questions that appear in my works, paradoxically hit us even more in these times of the COVI-19 pandemic in 2020.
