Untitled (NÓS)

 

Collector's commentary

"The title Nos (Us or knots) echoes this sharing of a situation of misfortune. He was particularly touched by the execution of Salvador Puig Antich, to whom this work pays homage, and also by the political assassination of one of his best friends. Salvador Puig Antich was a Catalan anarchist executed in 1974...

... As by obsession it so is that the images remain in memory throughout the series; the same subject and the same photo is represented several times. What is especially interesting in Untitled (Nos) is that the subject is face to face with himself, with his own situation, in full consciousness despite the ordeal. Self-awareness is a way to affirm the strength of life and to free oneself from the adversities of the totalitarian state."

PS1: Untatled (NÓS). With this title the work was included in the KADIST Collection. It was untitled and was originated in the documentation of the performance NÓS, used more than once in the NÓS collection as it appears here. And so it was baptized.

PS2: Let's go back to this: the image on the left can be inscribed in a b and the image on the right in a d. From the set we can say that d is an a is a non-b. Therefore, it has a being and a non-being, which leads us to "to be or not to be"
