"File_món" (quarantine series) is a visual recycling exercise that uses images available on the Internet. These images are incorporated into the computer desktop where they are transformed by the overlay and distribution of icons, hiding small packets of information, to later return them to the same medium from which they were obtained.
File_món speaks about the media power of the image, the oversaturation of events, about the loss of reference of the information source and the difficulty to access it. It speaks about the lack of affinity between spectator and referent, about the insensitivity towards events and disasters. It speaks about images which by their very nature exclude criticism or the act of looking, reducing our capability as spectators.
File_món wonders how to view what is generally hidden: who, how, when, where, why and what the images were taken for. It encourages an effort to understand; to think about the relationships established with the referent, what its possibilities are, what it shows, what those signifying surfaces hide. An interplay of relationships and emotions where the possibility is always left open to understand the work leaving the interpretation to the interpreter's initiative.
