Carlos Irijalba
"Works between relative experience of time, territory and the collective construction of the real."
Carlos Irijalba (Pamplona, 1979) graduated at the Basque Country University and UDK Berlin with professor Lothar Baumgarten. His work analizes the way in which Western culture recreates an abstract medium that loses all relations except to itself. Spectacle has marked out the plane of the visible so it can be easily digested, transferring attention towards a series of pseudo-events. Irijalba works in projects as Überlegung or the recent Twilight and Unwilling spectator in that direction between relative experience of time and space and the collective construction of the real.
