Carlos Amorales: Dark Mirror

solo show
opening february 26

february 27 - may 11, 2008


The first showing in Ireland of Dark Mirror, 2004/05, a double video projection by leading Mexican artist Carlos Amorales, opens to the public at the Irish Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday 27 February 2008. Amorales’ practice uses drawing as the basis from which to develop paintings, video animations and performances. In Dark Mirror, which became part of the IMMA Collection in 2005, Amorales presents an animation by graphic designer André Pahl and an original score of piano music, performed by the composer and musician José María Serralde. The result is a nightmarish animation depicting man and beast in apocalyptic scenes, the imagery of which is rooted in contemporary popular symbols and Mexican icons. The work was developed using Liquid Archive - Amorales’ electronic database of digital drawings based on appropriated images and personal memories.
