Beyond Words: Avelino Sala

Beyond Words presents a selection of recent works that describe a world in collapse. For Sala, each piece works as a mark on what is being done wrong in the current global context. With that in mind, he looks at issues that may pertain to different realms but that result from the same rooted dystopian perversion that characterizes contemporary society.

 According to the artist, it is no longer necessary to search for parallelisms with science fiction, for the nightmare has already become our reality. Based on this premise, the artist traces a line that takes the viewer from the ecological to the political, taking on issues such as the constant and excessive mistreatment of the earth and its consequences on health, and more specifically focusing on the political agents and interests that lead, sustain and exacerbate these practices.
