Pablo Mora’s artistic projects are based on rigorous research into the state of neglect and decay of modern political systems. His plastic proposal knows no limits; he works with techniques and different languages that constitute montages that enhance the formal and conceptual value of each artwork. Although Mora usually works with legal records and archives from Colombia, the issues he addresses are of a universal nature.

Mora questions the notion of the archive and its uselessness: in a very personal way, he intervenes in its formats and transgresses its contents to resignify the “truth” they claim to contain. Repression, the denial of reading achieved through erasure techniques, transforms the original material, granting the artwork-objects a subtle affective register. Mora does not attempt to recover memory within each document; on the contrary, he seeks to materialize forgetfulness through various alteration techniques.
