Marcelo Viquez
Tales in Grayscale
In drawings, paintings, photographs, videos and installations Marcelo Viquez illustrates possibilities to find his own way between his own past, his own origin and the exciting insecurity of where the future will lead him. In his black and white photography- series "Equilibrio" he wears suspenders and gloves and tries to keep balance (which is in Spanish: Equilibrio), while he stands with one foot on his Spanish identity card. Under the same title Viquez shows big-formatted greyish drawings, in which he balances in the same way on fruit, a car wheel, a Nike sports shoe and a caravan and therefore upon symbols of a conventional way of life.
