Jorge Méndez Blake
"My work is a meditation of the possibilities and results of connecting architecture, classic literature and culture. My point of departure is always literature, authors and fiction, mainly classic easily recognizable authors. From there I search for gaps or stories that are not completed or related with each other and use different media to make comments around them. My interest is to connect distant topics, objects and situations that you wouldn’t be supposed to see connected and find new meanings and exits around them."
