Title
ALEJANDRO ALMANZA PEREDA
Description
“The joke tells itself” is a phrase to describe the obvious. Alejandro Almanza Pereda’s work constantly twists this logic. It is never about the obvious, but about the perplexing. The remaining bunkers in our time precisely document the history of human expectation of one’s own survivability or demise, whether this is self-inflicted or the fault of others. Today they are often technical paradoxes that once heroically isolated man from the outside world and are now a fad as inviting taverns. The tense relationship between the interior and exterior worlds is crucial to Almanza’s thinking . . . If restrictions and staying at home make us more vulnerable to outside experiences, can architecture or the trompe l’oeil of painting save us from this dangerous domesticity?
