Taking as a starting point the idea of myth, origin and the concept of repetition as a ritual, Remote Control seeks to connect the artistic production with the principles of pagan worship beliefs, addressing a search for identity based on the influence of the original people from South America, and the weight of the European history, understanding this as a blend of an hybrid mestizo combination.

My work links memories of Pre-Columbian images with sacred geometry, order grids and symmetry. For this project I create a site specific installation and presents a video that resuscitates the symbol of a Chakana; a recurrent figure in the Andes culture that speaks of an old correspondence relationship existed between the high and the low, the human being and the superior, the earth and the universe.

This psychedelic and hypnotic repetition, as a mantra, harbours a spiritual connection with the cosmos, since it represents a unifying element that symbolizes a stairway or bridge between two worlds.

As an ethnographic exercise, Remote Control works with the idea of past and present time through the translation of ancient symbols or icons in counterpart with simple contemporary objects from daily routine; mechanisms and devices that are in the surrounding, placing us in a constant duality; a point between the sacred and the profane; that precise limit where the human being seeks to find what he cannot see.
