Alexis Mata “Ciler”. Mexico City, Mexico, 1981 Ciler’s practice implies the disfiguration and manipulation of existing images with a dark archeological intention to dig out an emotional substratum. Through collage, drawings and installations, he wrings the found images to position them as visceral glosses to talk about death, violence, beauty and the constructed environment. His latest work focuses on communication systems. Through non-figurative structures – starting off from the Rorschach Test technique- he generates a heap of plastic forms searching for an answer. These can be associated with the many connections we establish, we behave and set up concepts. Lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico.
