Pablo Vargas Lugo

Pablo Vargas Lugo

Mexico City, 1968 Lives and works in Mexico.

Throughout his career, Pablo Vargas Lugo has made a repertoire of resources that make images and references resonate in other people's records, awakening the restlessness or alarm at the encounters that promote these displacements.

His work borrows the motifs from disciplines such as astronomy, cartography, epigraphy, natural history, archeology, space technology, musical or cinematographic language. His drawings, sculptures, installations and audiovisual works show us the mystery of writing, the fragility of conventions and the persistence of ancient traditions in unexpected costumes. Through thorough and unusual technical, visual and conceptual alignments, the projections are once again in the viewer's imagination as elements close to our everyday reality.
