Marcos Avila Forero — À propos — Slash Paris

" I look like the one who always takes in its pocket a stone of its house to show the world how it is like at home”.

Bertolt Brecht

The works of Marcos Avila Forero begin first with an encounter, of a place, a context, a person, a document, a story and that is from there the work begins.

He is interested in the testimonies, in the documents, in History when official as well as unofficial, in the real-life experience which kept some objects or certain raw materials … All these elements become the tools he uses to build each of his pieces in which human being is the central figure.
