Mosaic Tiles. 107x20cm
This series of works was born in contrast to the wave of motivational, satirical-provocative maxims that invade social media, capturing daily feelings and actions. These phrases are conceived by creators of consumable content, for whom, due to the nature of the medium, it is impossible to delve into complex thoughts.
Therefore, those sentences that could provoke reflection and should trigger a mechanism of rejection towards the media itself and the current way of dealing with everyday life, in reality, only manage to accentuate inaction and contribute to the mechanism of collective disillusionment by indirectly increasing anxiety in content consumers.
These phrases, elevated to post-capitalist manifestos, find their place in the physical world printed on T-shirts, mugs, posters, thus contributing to the consumerist drive they covertly criticize by creating further homogenization.
From here, my NEW COMMANDMENTS were born, a series of warnings handmade in the form of mosaics, so that they can be preserved over time and cannot be reproduced (but only produced).
Unlike laws and norms, these commandments are derivative, meaning they take shape from the analysis of individual behavior in society and explicitly declare the rules to follow.
A series of new digital commandments in an era where divine judgment has been supplanted by the judgment of others.
