XVI Bienal de Cuenca

"The work presented here titled “Familia” speaks of a personal and intimate story, of the exile of my grandparents from Ecuador to Cuba in the 1930s and of my own personal exile to Spain 15 years ago. The starting point is a portrait of the four members of my family (my two children and my wife) made from tailoring patterns, made in Crystal; a contemporary portrait that ignores photographic description to focus on the real measurements of each body, evoking festivities and moments of mourning with the gesture of measuring a body.“ CARLOS GARAICOA
