- Thief
- In ‘Thief’ the artist takes over the story of a robbery; A group of thieves in Seville stole 4 tons of oranges in two cars. The robbery was seized by the police who gave the title of “The Sevillian job” to the theft. In this way the artist appropriates the seized theft from the police and moves it to the museum space as an installation, functioning as a diptych next to ‘Invigilate’. With them he tries to approach, making use of humor, the residues of a forced and cosmetic modernity in the European peripheral south, where ingenuity, survival and punishment are revealed and as an antithesis to the metropolis. Through the scavenging of stories in various local newspapers, the artists addresses how journalism in the south masks through the anecdotal the loss of agricultural forces and Southern epistemologies.
