Platypus Logic

Through a set of headphones, we hear the voice of an individual who strives to define a nonexistent concept that he calls X. In his desperation, he resorts to multiple metaphors that seem not to correspond with each other, but it stands clear that this X is something extremely abstract. The installation that accompanies this narration does not give us many clues. On the contrary, it's a wild accumulation of things that do nothing but illustrate the metaphors in a literal way and attempt to draw links between the different elements.

2010, installation, bilingual audio-narration (English and Spanish) of 8’16’’ and 9’33’’ respectively
