Preface by Roberto Tejada and Lucia Boni
This Limited Edition book (100) contains seven stories and seven serigraphs.
The onset of the technological revolution, and with-it, social media, has generated, among other things, a new concept of time, a new form of communication and a new language. Communication has been reduced to slogans and repetition. The news to headlines. And the “truth” has become elastic. Time and attention spans have been cut. We are in a time of transition as we slip into post-human ways of communicating. Cyberculture is blurring the boundaries between humans and machines. In this context we need to be grounded and ask what we are and what we are becoming.
Faced with this new reality, my exercise consists of, first, synthesizing the tangle of times, voices and places that make up the narrative to the minimum expression.
Mery Godigna Collet explores the coexistence between humans and environment through social and political issues. Her art work is supported by the versatile use of diverse materials, applied in installations, paintings, sculptures, photography and video, challenging the viewer through the use of new techniques and unconventional materials in the making of her art.
Collet has participated in 34 solo and 40 group exhibitions in Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, New York, Miami, New Mexico, and Texas. We were proud to feature her exhibition Extra Virgin Petrol Oil at Warehouse 1-10 in 2015.
