Casas Alteradas 2006

Curator: Here we have Armando Andrade Tudela's "Casas Alteradas," part of the Tate collection. Editor: It strikes me as a commentary on obsolescence; the technology itself is so present. Curator: Yes, Tudela often explores architecture through the lens of societal shifts. The projectors and carousel slides become sculptural objects. Editor: The focus on the outdated technology highlights the changing nature of image production. And who is consuming those images? Curator: Precisely! This piece invites reflection on how we perceive and consume images of domestic spaces within a globalized society. It's a critical examination of the power dynamics embedded in representation. Editor: By displaying the means of production, the artist is highlighting the materiality of the images themselves. It reminds us the art is not just the projected image, but the entire installation. Curator: It makes you consider the cultural and technological context of image-making. Editor: Indeed, it is not just a picture, it's a presentation.
