Artist: Juan Diego Trujillo

Statement:

"Home and interior spaces have become my field of inquiry and creative action, where my attention is focused on the everyday as an element that defines us, visualizing the way of being, doing and living in. its inhabitants through personal objects and domestic furniture, which account for the relationships that they weave between themselves and their owners, making me a chronicler of their lives.

In this context, fieldwork becomes a testimony, as I delve into the abode of others, transforming the act of seeing into a form of espionage; upsetting the boundary between the public sphere and the sphere
private; exploring that correlation between what one is and what one owns, that's why I'm interested in collecting and recording drawers and cabinets with the belongings that are stored and filed in them; Doing an archeology of the memories of others through their belongings.

That experience of observer translating my projects through expanded drawing establishing a attraction between the portrait of a person from the psychological perception with their possessions, showing
how they define and particularize it, also going through the possibilities offered by the installation,
recreating the environments that are lived in the places where I work (geriatric), through
possessions that donate to me and the construction of audiovisual scenarios."
