ARCHIVO + ARTE / ART + ARCHIVE

Norka Carreño

+ see proyect 1

This work consists on an archive of that which is unperceived and in which awakening the uncanny emerges.A little marker is detached from the garment, namely the label. This is a smaller piece of fabric showing with diminute red letters the information about the use and the origin of the garment. The interesting fact about this fixation on what goes unnoticed is that it allows to talk about mercantile policies versus the strengthening of commercial borders for people and the change in the paradigm of consumption in such a distant country like Chile is. The apparently unimportant object translates itself into a political rest, a sometimes typographical, sometimes territorial archive being anew transit and develating a situation of origin and loss.
