Act 3: José Noguero Scenographies
21.02.2008 - 18.04.2008
Scenographies is an installation based on images of various scenes that pose a reflection on the creative genesis and human existence. Six photographs taken in a television studio in Berlin (where the artist lives since 1999) emphasize the following idea: there is no one waiting to go on stage, they are images of “drama without action” where time becomes space.
There is also an installation called Scenography that contains a small trash bag with the remains of an action performed by Noguero at the Fundació Suñol. The artist created a sitting human figure that he destroyed afterwards.
The process was photographed and the remains of the figure kept in plastic bags as a symbol of destruction and ephemeral presence, but also as a rebirth: of what can be destroyed to create a new configuration.
José Noguero was born in Barbastro, Huesca, in 1969. He studied at the Escola Massana, Barcelona (1985-1992), Bristol Polytechnic (1989) and the Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam (1991).
