“If you change direction, you may end up where you are heading.” (Chinese proverb)
Spanish artist Ángel Marcos (b. 1955, Valladolid, Spain) proposes a bailout of the feeling of the flesh versus the aseptic removal process of organic matter, which is in the midst of Western civilization. This is a work-in-progress project that stems from the conscience of seeing a world in constant change and a reality that observes change from the manner in which we relate among ourselves, with nature or with the cosmos. Possibly the actions that we can undertake to set up a sustainable civilization must be linked to our intimate feelings and thoughts, those territories of creative and affective thinking, charged with energy and of very difficult destruction. We know what the territories close to belongings can give of themselves, as well as the impersonation of the states of mind for consumption; thus, let us try with affection because we have no other choice: The Intimate Subversion.
