Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

The heart of the multidisciplinary artist Guillermo Moreno Mirallas’ practice lies in the critical exploration of the relationship between object and subject, matter and consciousness through the physical experiences.

In his production, he subordinates the technique to the concepts that he is analysing and building. He is currently mainly working with contact microphones, analog synthesizers, audio production software as well as 3D scans and prints and 3D modelling software. All combined with projections, photographs, paintings or drawings to generate as a result a constellation of artefacts, interactive pieces and installations.

The poetic idea of alchemy surrounds all his investigations (converting sound into light or matter into digital information), translating the original apprehension of transcendence to a communicable state, a new form that is in fact ancestral because it claims metaphorical transmutation instead of mimesis.

It is all about a deep understanding of the laws of nature and, ultimately, of time. It is, at last, about something much more internal than it might at first seem: merging oneself with the world.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

Moreno Mirallas starts by researching his direct environment, finding poetic details through which he catalyses and articulates his reflections. For this reason, his production is always intuitive and the technique is subordinate to the concepts that he is analysing and building. Generating as a result, a constellation of artefacts, interactive pieces and installations.

During his two months residency at GlogauAIR, he is internalising and re-imagining the city through researching a recurring street element within the topography of Berlin. Namely, the cobble stones or in German named ‘Kopfsteinpflaster’. Associating with those that have come loose from the sidewalk, as if driven out by the city itself. They can be seen as a record of urban idiosyncratic activity. This work refers to elements that are viewable in different areas in Berlin and together create our unconscious mental understanding of the city.

In Kopfsteinpflaster we can experience a very individual way of how to perceive an urban landscape, a set constructed by infinite parts, which are the cause and consequence of the continual change.
