Motto For Christian Youth
Who DAVID ZEPEDA ARMENGOL?
Mexico City (1978)
studied the Bachelor of Visual Arts in ENPEG "La Esmeralda", his work as producer has developed between the installation, performance and drawing mainly. His work has appeared in venues such as the Museum of Modern Art, Museum Documentation Center Carrillo Gil, ENPEG La Esmeralda, the UAM Metropolitan Gallery, the Embassy of Mexico in Ecuador and the Casino Metropolitano, among others. Has also served as curator.
The piece "This Ergo Ego" acts and talks with the domestic kitchen, addresses the conflict between animal instinct phenomenon of reality and culture through language and its various control devices, consistently repressed primitive impulses that confront us with reality. Well as the installation-action is presented as a symbolic suicide, in her social threat of suicide is sublimated, portrait and name of the author are eaten by the animal repellent that lurks, from the sewers, or from the bondage of beast. The action transforms the enjoyment of self-destruction psychotic desire for radical transformation in the self socialized through staging.
Art
Statement My work is to raise the I as a testing ground or laboratory , and therefore production to support visual, tactile, audio ... The I understood not as an indivisible unit, but as an amorphous set of multiplicities, possibilities and conditions passing through a body or body (yours and others) that it may seem contradictory, (in any case the contradiction continually overlooking my job ) think of it as an identity mutable container affected by foreign: culture, society, etc everyday. to permanently and temporarily becomes a interior: the dramatic setting, perceptual, experiential, so I think in a speech more fragile and organic, not monolithic.
Figures of heteronomy and the alter ego have complemented my concern to understand what is it you call me and how is that I work in the various fields of political, ethical, economic, poetic, existential, and their combinations. The peculiarity of the piece does not have to be a repeat of the generality of the speech or structure, each time producing a set of raised me different interests, without fixed hierarchies between them.
therefore a constant in my work is to explore and test the symbolic relations the body and its various roles have with their objects, as they blend in with, merges or create survival systems, operation, endurance and existence in the world.
