Stasis | Alejando Acosta
This painting is based on Girogio Agamben’s book Stasis. An essay on the Greek concept of civil war as a game and a political paradigm. The association with pre-Columbian motifs and today’s virtual technology unites two points in history under Agamben’s ideas in the book through my personal identity. On the one hand, my ancestors come from the conflict that led to the conquest of America and, on the other hand, I consider myself born in the digital universe, coming to identify myself more with the things that happen on the Internet than with the national identities of my country.
