Alejandro Quiroga works and builds his story based on the territory and its journey. Speaking in different media and disciplines, he has tried to show a visual field where the contemporary assumes history and the political in its transformation of the natural habitat. The analysis of the progress and development of the different forms of colonization of the environment goes through the raising of a visual regime that manages to domesticate nature until it becomes a setting. How does the human inhabit a visuality fed by photography, popular culture, rock music, film and art history? In his work, Alejandro Quiroga tells us about a typical place, a place that serves to describe all the places that resemble each other, a space halfway between the postcard and the memory, between technology and memory, between its representation and its complete oblivion.
The work arises from an accumulation of visual references from photography that allow us a closeness that reveals the distance. We speak of the "melancholy of the image". We have been to so many places that only the imperfection of forgetfulness allows us to order our memories in a way that makes them seem real, a place. We see a field in the past. We walk through a forest and come to a clearing among the trees where a house stands. It is a new place, it is an old place: we do not know it but we recognize it. An accumulated visual experience where memory and projection are equivalent.
